Banco de pruebas para electromiografía

Abstract

This project was carried out in order to solve the problem that is experienced in the Francisco José de Caldas District University, given the lack of study of electromyographic signals, so a test bench was developed for this type of signals whose main objective is its analysis and application to the control of a robotic arm, this test bench was developed in the first phase with the design of the necessary circuits for the correct reading of the biopotentials generated by the movement of the muscles of the upper limb, in the second phase it was developed A study of muscular physiology in order to know the muscles in charge of each movement and position the electrodes in the correct way, finally a controller algorithm of these signals was designed, to be visualized in a graphical interface and in turn give robotic arm movement. As a result, a circuit capable of capturing the electromyographic signals was obtained, being processed by a PSoc microcontroller which is responsible for generating the movement of the robotic arm when the patient performs it, the patient being able to visualize through a graphical interface printed in LabVIEW the signals obtained from its biopotential.
