    Diagram of the ARV EMG and Peak EMG processing method. Integral, repetition duration and peak values for the processed EMG were taken between the onset and offset points. Also shown is the method of establishing the onset and offset values for each repetition. (A) Baseline data to calculate onset threshold and (B) baseline data to calculate offset threshold.
