Power-assist wheelchair consist of DC motors to ease the propulsion for upper limb impairment person. Surface electromyography (sEMG) is one of methods to activate it. The purpose of this study was to investigate the threshold for Motor Unit Action Potential (MUAP) to activate the power-assist syste...
