Abstract
Muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) is generally measured by the estimation of the time delay between electromyography recording channels. In this paper, we compare performances of two well-known approaches: parametric and non-parametric. The results indicate that the non-parametric approach can obtain better performance when the noise is strong (SNR = 10 dB). With the low noise level, the parametric approaches become more interesting.
