NEUROMUSCULAR ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

A neuromuscular assessment system and method of operation can include: affixing a first electrode array to an agonist muscle configured to detect a first Electromyography (EMG) signal; affixing a second electrode array to an antagonist muscle configured to detect a second EMG signal, the agonist muscle and the antagonist muscle forming an agonist/antagonist muscle pair; decomposing the first EMG signal into a first motor unit spike train; decomposing the second EMG signal into a second motor unit spike train; correlating the first motor unit spike train and the second motor unit spike train to generate correlated signals; determining synchronicity and periodicity within the correlated signals; and generating a tremor fraction, the tremor fraction being a percentage of the correlated signals determined to have both the synchronicity and the periodicity.
