A Wireless Multi-Layered EMG/MMG/NIRS Sensor for Muscular Activity Evaluation.

A wireless multi-layered sensor that allows electromyography (EMG), mechanomyography (MMG) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements to be carried out simultaneously is presented. The multi-layered sensor comprises a thin silver electrode, transparent piezo-film and photosensor. EMG and MMG measurements are performed using the electrode and piezo-film, respectively.
