Cyclical Analysis Overview

The cyclical analysis tutorial will introduce the use of the Cyclical Analysis calculation script, which can be used to analyze repetitive activity recorded in a single data file, with one channel indicating the start of each cycle.  This tutorial will use the Trigno Wireless Sensors to acquire the EMG data through normal walking gait, and use the accelerometer in the sensors to indicate the heel-strike which marks each epoch in the gait cycle.  Alternatively, a tethered EMG sensor may be used to record EMG activity, and a foot switch sensor may be used to identify the epochs by marking the locations of a heel-strike.
