Abstract [en]

Accurate evaluation of electrophysiological and morphological characteristics of the skeletal muscles is critical to establish a comprehensive assessment of the human neuromusculoskeletal function in vivo. However, current technological challenges lie in unsynchronized and unparallel operation of separate acquisition systems such as surface electromyography (sEMG) and ultrasonography. Key problem is the lack of ultrasound transparency of current electrophysiological electrodes. In this work, ultrasound (US) transparent electrode based on cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) substrate are proposed to solve the issue. US transparency of the electrodes are evaluated using a standard US phantom. The effects of nanocellulose type and ion-bond introduction on electrode performance is investigated. Simultaneous US image and sEMG signal acquisition of biceps brachii during isometric muscle contraction are studied. Reliable correlation analysis of the US and sEMG signals is realized which is rarely reported in the previous literatures. Recyclability and biodegradability of the current electrode are evaluated. The reported technology opens up new pathways to provide coupled anatomical and electrical information of the skeletal muscles, enables reliable anatomical and electrical information correlation analysis and largely simplify the sensor integration for assessment of the human neuromusculoskeletal function.
