In the first stage the noises and interferences that disturb sEMG signals were analyzed to implement a digital filter in a low-cost embedded system that filters these signals. It was shown that the noises and interferences are caused by various sources. Sources of interference and noise can be divided into internal and external. Internal noise is caused by the electrodes, EMG signals of other muscles, and noise associated with the functioning of other organs such as the heart or stomach. The external noises are due to the electrical environment, the most prominent of which is the direct interference of the power hum, produced by the incorrect grounding of other devices and electromotors. For the analysis of the digital filter, sEMG signals from the biceps muscle were used when the elbow joint was at rest and during flexion and extension movements. Signals from 10 participants who did not have any atrophies or pathologies in the muscle were considered for this stage. Denoising of sEMG signals was performed using different wavelets; the smallest error was observed when using the biorthogonal wavelet 3/5 of level 6 with the soft thresholding method. The wavelet filter was implemented using the V-model, and the Processor in The Loop (PIL) tests helped to determine the characteristics of the embedded system where the digital filter was implemented. The digital filter code was implemented on an ESP32 board due to its processing speed of 328 ms.en-USsEMG signalsWavelet real time filterModel based designjournal-article
