TI Hercules LaunchPad Tipo 2: Electromyography Signal DSP part 1

Electromyography (EMG) is an electrodiagnostic medicine technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced byskeletal muscles.[1] EMG is performed using an instrument called an electromyograph, to produce a record called anelectromyogram. An electromyograph detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells[2] when these cells are electrically or neurologically activated. The signals can be analyzed to detect medical abnormalities, activation level, or recruitment order or to analyze the biomechanics of human or animal movement.(source Wikipedia).

For this project it was decided to put the electrodes on the biceps brachii, and which is a large and easier to obtain a PUM muscle.

The figure shows how to putting on muscle electrodes.

the electronic circuit is composed of an instrumentation amplifier with a high gain MCP6022, the second stage consists of two filters:

Bandpass: 300Hz - 3KHz

Rechazabanda (in my country): 60Hz

    Hi Martin, You will find that most devices that come in contact with humans require a large separation from mains power. You also can get the mains frequency interfering with low level signals, so in general…

    once again thank you for your comments, I forget to comment but this circuit is not for use by medical electronics, but for final implementation take this into consideration the electricity insulation necessary.

     

    I'm from Peru, is willingly receive ideas from experienced people like you, although not the field I'm sure you know very well the electronics.

    Hi Martin,

     

    You will find that most devices that come in contact with humans require a large separation from mains power.

     

    You also can get the mains frequency interfering with low level signals, so in general, rechargeable batteries are preferred for most devices.

     

    I think here in the USA, you have to have the devices certified for medical use, but that is not my field of expertise.

    Thank you very much for giving me your opinion! image

     

    My circuit has a powering 3.3v in general by batteries,I'm still not sure if I should use some kind of electrical insulation for AC signal, because the circuit consume low current and low voltage operated, if possible I would like your opinion I am still a student of electronic engineering.

    You might want to check your local codes for medical device isolation.
