Hello,
I am using 6th Grand Challenge data for my research.
I have some question of calculation methods for activation of each muscle.

1. To calculate the activation, I used “DM_maxEMG.csv” files for the maximum force of each muscle (knee flexor and extensor muscles). “DM_maxEMG.csv” file is real maximum signal data of leg muscles?

2. To calculate the activation during isokinetic trials in “Synchronized Biodex Strength Data”, following methods is right?

Muscle activation = Muscle signal (isokinetic trials)/Peak muscle signal (DM_maxEMG.csv) * 100

Thank you
