Advance of Surface Electromyography Applied in Underwater Exercise (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

Underwater exercise and hydrotherapy have rapidly developed in recent years. As an noninvasive and convenient tool, sur-face electromyography (sEMG) has been applied in underwater research. In favour of experiment procedure, underwater sEMG needs local-ized waterproof seal or whole-body waterproof suit, and are mainly detected by telemetry system. The muscle activity pattern of underwater exercise is different from on land exercise, the sMEG amplitude is correlated with motion velocity. Compound underwater motion analysis includes sEMG, video and foot pressure will be more effective assessment tool for underwater exercise and hydrotherapy research.
