Abstract
Diagnostic instruments are nowadays an integral medicine part. Instruments try to make work of doctors easier. The measured data are often poorly understood by the layperson, so it is important that the physician sufficiently explains the information obtained from the biosignal. However, sometimes this information is not necessarily important. When measuring electromyographic signals during rehabilitation or training of athletes, rapid feedback is essential. This paper deals exclusively with the creation prototype of an electromyograph measurement chain with a quick and simple presentation of the electromyographic signal for the layperson. Signal pre-processing is discussed and many presentation variant of electromyographic signal. Such as acoustic output, lighting of LEDs by EMG, visualization of the EMG signal intensity on a cascade of LEDs and playback of the selected sound when the set intensity of the electromyographic signal is exceeded. The device has the ability to adjust the level of difficulty to monitore progress.
