Myoelectric VR feedback for leg-muscle rehabilitation

Turns muscle signals into something users can see: a VR system that measures thigh-muscle activation with surface EMG and shows it in real time on a colour-coded 3D leg. Users can adjust their own effort during self-directed practice without a therapist's cues. A study with ten participants assessed usability, comfort and interpretability.
