System for Data Acquisition and Measurement of Muscle Strength Using EMG Signals

This paper presents a proposal for an interactive prototype that utilizes electromyographic signals (EMG) along with the force hammer game to measure and enhance muscular strength in a fun and motivating manner. It is based on research on the Neuromuscular System, emphasizing the significance of EMG signals in monitoring muscle groups affected by injuries or pathologies. The construction of the final system includes an EMG module and a vu-meter to create a force measurement tool. The proposal is developed after reviewing devices that acquire muscle signals controlled by the nervous system. The main objective is to implement a data acquisition system that measures muscular strength through the force hammer game. The document details the stages of prototype development, from identifying design opportunities to planning the implementation of the functional prototype. The importance of following established stages is emphasized, underscoring the applicability of the prototype in various scenarios. The prototype stands out for its ability to provide visual feedback and improve the measurement and application of force and movements. It is considered a valuable tool in processes such as rehabilitation, facilitating the optimal recovery of the patient.
