Abstract

The article presents both the methods of data processing of electromyography (EMG), and EMG signal analysis using the implemented piece of software. This application is used to load the EMG signal stored in a file with the .C3D extension. The analysis was conducted in terms of the highest muscles activaton during exercise recorded with Motion Capture technique.
