Abstract :
The presented approach is conceptually useful in illustrating the alteration in motor units (MUs) for neuromuscular disorders and discussed on the properties of PDS & PSD of EMG signals. The proposed power spectral density method comparatively analyzed the healthy & neuropathy signals with Welch´s PSD estimation method by Hamming & Kaiser Window. The distributions of power over frequency components for both the signals are significantly compared. This analysis is intended to provide an automatic diagnosis of an individual´s muscle condition.
