Clinical Relevance of the HD sEMG Signals in the Post-stroke Rehabilitation
Sponsor: Alain Kaelin
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the WPM-SEMG-V2 device (Wireless Portable and Multi-Channel, WPM) designated to acquire high-density (HD) surface electromyography (sEMG) signals in healthy volunteers and post-stroke patients. The main objectives are: 1) to technically and clinically validate the WPM-SEMG-V2 device in healthy volunteers; 2) to demonstrate the clinical relevance of the HD sEMG signals to support the process of rehabilitation of post-stroke patients. Participants will be asked to perform simple exercises using the muscles of the hand or the leg in static or dynamic contractions while wearing the WPM-SEMG-V2 device.

Acquisition of HD sEMG signals using the WPM-SEMG device
The WPM-SEMG-V2 device will be placed over the muscle of the participant to be investigated. A reference electrode over a bone close to the muscle of investigation will be applied. A sensor combing an accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer integrated in the WPM-SEMG-V2 device will be also used for the acquisition of body movement measures. An additional component for trapezoidal force measurement will be used during the acquisition in static contractions to measure the force. The participant will be instructed by the investigator how to execute the static or the dynamic exercises. Visual feedback will help the subject to track the trajectory.
