Thus, being able to noninvasively distinguish between contracted and relaxed muscle states is crucial. Measurements using optical systems (movement tracking) or kinetic approaches (muscle circumference) only provide information from the body surface with varying accuracy.en610620Measuring muscle contractions from single element transducer ultrasound data using machine learning strategiesconference paper
