Muscle activity detection of human upper limb using piezoelectric based sensory system

Electromyography (EMG) has widely been used for muscle activity detection and is proven accurate. However, using EMG requires lots of preparation and it is time consuming. Thus, this motivates the exploration of alternative methods. Materials with piezoelectricity effect have gained its popularity n...
