Review of electromyography onset detection methods for real-time control of robotic exoskeletons

Table 4 Comparison of the mean ± SD EMG onset detection times between iEMG and sEMG for ST, DT and AT methods

Method	Subject 01 [ms]	Subject 02 [ms]	Subject 03 [ms]
ST	115.15 ± 297.19	233.67 ± 152.21	163.11 ± 261.77
DT	46.86 ± 524.71	− 7.35 ± 68.01	26.93 ± 83.99
AT	157.92 ± 364.06	293.94 ± 323.81	21.31 ± 297.51

Positive values indicate that muscle activation onset was detected earlier in iEMG signals than in sEMG signals (for the same muscle and task), while negative values indicate the opposite, i.e., muscle activation onset was detected earlier in sEMG signals than in iEMG signals (also for the same muscle and task)
