Abstract
By individually examining the characteristics of conducting waves in multi-channel surface electromyogram (EMG) signals, there is a possibility to understand the mobilization mechanism of muscle contraction. It is important to consider the potential obtained from the surface electromyogram (EMG) signal conducted from a large number of moving units in the muscle, as well as the interference potential due to the conducting action potential. The main purpose of this research paper is to find the exact characteristics of conducting waves close to an end-plate using the antiphase conduction method. To evaluate the position of the end-plate, every conducting wave will be investigated by multi-channel surface EMG, and the formation process for the conducting waves will be analyzed.
