摘要:This article presents preliminary results of the
effect of temperature variation in the environment on the
human body at the myoelectric level, in order to be able to
characterize it. The application of the results of this research
aims to contribute in the future to the improvement of the
prosthesis and therefore to the lifestyle of its users. The
procedure used in the investigation required a temperaturecontrolled
chamber, in which the right arm of the patient, who
is exposed to these changes, is introduced. The information
of the electromyographic signals (EMG) of the forearm was
collected, as well as the temperatures of the body, Tb, chamber,
Tc and environment Ta, for further analysis. The experiment
was performed with ten patients who do not use any type of
prosthesis. For the data adquisition, specialized electronic interfaces
from several manufacturers and MATLAB & Simulink
support software were used. The response of the EMG signal is
shown in four different scenarios of the temperature variable:
low steady state, increasing, high steady state and decreasing,
effectively demonstrating changes of the EMG signal due to
temperature variations.
