Abstract:Surface mechanography (MMG) is a non-invasive technique that captures signs of low-frequency vibrations of skeletal muscles through the skin. However, subcutaneous structures may interfere with the acquisition of MMG signals. The objective of this study was to verify the influence of skinfold thickness (ST) on the MMG wavelet-based signal in the rectus femoris muscle during maximal voluntary contraction in two groups of individuals: group I (n = 10, ST <10 mm ) and group II (n = 10, ST equal to or> 20 mm… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
