Abstract

Optical myography, a lesser-known approach for monitoring muscle activity, may be influenced by factors such as skin tone, blood oxygenation, and the composition of the surrounding tissue. This study presents a preliminary investigation of optical myography across 20 limb-intact individuals with varying skin tones and one individual with limb difference. The findings underscore the approach's potential applicability across diverse populations, advancing its viability as a muscle monitoring technique.
