The main purpose is to explain basic concepts related to: (a) signal detection (electrodes, electrode\u2013skin interface, noise, ECG and power line interference), (b) basic signal properties, such as amplitude and bandwidth, (c) parameters of the front-end amplifier (input impedance, noise, CMRR, bandwidth, etc.), (d) techniques for interference and artifact reduction, (e) signal filtering, (f) sampling and (g) A\/D conversion, These concepts are addressed and discussed, with examples. The second purpose is to outline best practices and provide general guidelines for proper signal detection, conditioning and A\/D conversion, aimed to clinical operators and biomedical engineers. Issues related to the sEMG origin and to electrode size, interelectrode distance and location, have been discussed in a previous tutorial. Issues related to signal processing for information extraction will be discussed in a subsequent tutorial.<\/h4>\n<h3><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"k0005\" class=\"keyword\">\n<h4>Tutorial; Teaching; Electromyography; sEMG detection; Physiotherapy; Kinesiology; Electrodes; Signal conditioning; sEMG amplifier; Electrode\u2013skin impedance; Interference reduction; Noise reduction; Artifact reduction; sEMG acquisition.<\/h4>\n<h3><strong>Link:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1050641120300821\">Go to the paper&#8217;s web page<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R.
