Integrated System for Monitoring Muscular States during Elbow Flexor Resistance Training in Bedridden Patients

Figure 13

The GUI which is built to show the MSM, muscle velocity (), initial setup, and some real-time results. A subject was extending his forearm and the muscle velocity changes over time were showed to the users (muscle velocity reflects the state of muscle shortening and stretching. Less than 0 means muscle shortening, and more than 0 means muscle stretching). Muscles were divided into four groups, and the muscle velocity of each group is the average muscle velocity. BICS and BICl belong to Group 1. TRClg, TRClt, and TRCm belong to Group 2. BRD belongs to group 3, and BRA belongs to group 4.
