| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
sEMG (Surface Electromyography) is the electric activity of groups of muscles measured with electrodes on the skin surface. Since it reflects motion intentions, sEMG has been studied as a signal to control welfare machines. This study investigated the electrodes, measurement method, and selection of multi-channel sEMG signals. Soft and wearable sEMG electrodes were developed with conductive polymers and conductive silicon. The relation between bioelectric characteristics and the quality of sEMG was elucidated. And a multi-channel sEMG measurement system was developed and validated with healthy subjects and amputees.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
学術的意義：本研究で開発した筋電電極および筋電の計測回路は，ヒトの生体電気特性を考慮し，その特性にある程度適応できるようになっている．電極と回路開発の方法論は，筋電計測はもとより，脳波，眼電，など他の生体電気計測にも適用できる．
社会的意義：本研究の筋電電極と計測法は，障がい者にとって従来の物より使用し易い．また，個人特性を考慮したため汎用性も高い．筋電義手などの福祉機器を制御し易くなに，障がい者の自立生活の向上に役に立てる．
