Thesis "Design and Implementation of a Normative EMG values Database as a tool for Quantitative sEMG"

I am looking for a skilled freelancer to assist in writing a literature review for my thesis project, focused on a normative Electromyography (EMG) values database as a tool for quantitative surface EMG (sEMG). The purpose of this database is to establish normative values for EMG measurements.

1. Introduction
1.1 Background, and Motivation
1.2 Research Questions and Objectives
1.3 State-of-the-Art
1.4 Significance and Potential Impact of the Research

2. Literature Review
2.1 Anatomy & Physiology: Covering the essentials of movement anatomy, skeletal and muscular systems, action potentials, muscle contraction, and the functionality of the nervous system, including motor neuron recruitment.
2.2 Biosignal Processing:
Basics of Biosignals, focusing on muscle contraction and EMG formation.
Comparative analysis of intramuscular vs. surface electromyography.
Overview of the origin of surface EMG signals.
Comprehensive guide on EMG and sEMG, including standard acquisition procedures (SENIAM & ISEK Guidelines).
Detailed discussion on EMG signal processing, definitions, characteristics, detection, standardised sEMG detection protocol, composition, decomposition, and limitations in signal processing.
Feature extraction and selection in EMG signal analysis.
2.3 Databases:
Overview of database types, focusing on SQL and NoSQL.
Justification for the use of NoSQL (specifically MongoDB) in medical data management.
Comparative analysis of NoSQL and SQL in the context of medical and research data.


The ideal candidate for this project should possess:

Profound knowledge in Biomedical Engineering, with a focus on electromyography.
Strong background in anatomy and physiology, particularly in neuromuscular systems.
Experience in biosignal processing and data analysis.
Proficiency in database management, especially in SQL and NoSQL environments.
Familiarity with EMG acquisition and processing standards (e.g., SENIAM & ISEK guidelines).
Excellent research and academic writing skills.
Ability to synthesise complex information and present it in a clear, structured manner.

If you have the necessary skills and experience, please submit your proposal with relevant examples of past work in database design and implementation.
