Abstract :
This paper describes the relationship between well known medical parameters of EMG signals, the mean frequency and the median frequency, and usual statistical measures, spectral entropy, kurtosis, and skewness, applied to amplitude spectrum estimate. Material is derived from healthy volunteers. Robust inter-dependency is found between medical parameters and entropy of spectrum estimate.
