Abstract

Abstract The device uses a coherent monochromatic light source (14), e.g. a laser, for directing a photon beam onto the examined muscle tissue (12), with detection of the frequency and intensity of the photons received from the surface of the skin (18) at a given point and at further points (22) with different spacings from the latter. The measured information provided by the detectors (20) is evaluated via a given programme and/or algorithm, for calculating the level of muscular activity and/or the number of active muscles and/or the spacing of the muscles.
