Abstract
A new appliance, incorporating linear arrays of pin electrodes for genioglossus (GG) surface electromyography measurement, is presented. This design enables the estimation of GG muscle fiber conduction velocity, which decreases with fatigue. The performance of the device was evaluated for ten healthy human subjects during fatiguing and force varying contractions.
