O 077 - Electromyography for determination of muscle response: Effects of Parkinson disease

Muscle response is a concept well-known in medicine or in rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise. With the development of ADAS system (Advanced Driving Assistance System), muscle response time as a part of driver reaction time has been investigated in the field of traffic and transport. One of possible approach how to determine muscle response is to use electromyography (EMG). It is often used in combination of electroencephalography (EEG) for determination of driver ’s behavior [1]. The aim of this study is to specify muscle response time of drivers and show how this parameter of driver's behavior can be affected by Parkinson disease.
