A group of 10 healthy subjects without any upper limb pathologies participated in the data collection process. A total of 8 activities are performed by each subject. The measurement setup consists of a 5-channel Noraxon Ultium wireless sEMG sensor system. Representative muscle sites of the forearm are identified and self-adhesive Ag/AgCl dual electrodes are placed. The signal (sEMG) recorded during an ADL activity is segmented into functional phases: 1) rest 2) action and 3) release. During the rest phase, the subject is instructed to rest the muscles in a natural way.
