A Preliminary Evaluation of Acoustic Myography for Real-Time Muscle Force Inference

Abstract

We present a novel modeling framework for the measurement of muscle force via acoustic myography (AMG). Preliminary data indicate the framework’s promise in inferring muscle force from multiple muscle groups, allowing for novel analysis of muscle synergies and joint stiffness for future use in assistive device control schemes.
