Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Handwriting Velocity to Identify Handwriting Process from Electromyographic SignalsMohamed Benrejeb, Afef Abdelkrim, Ines ChihiProblem statement: Handwriting movement is one of the most complex activities of human motions. It’s a blend of kinesthetic, cognitive, perceptual and motor components. The study of this biological process shows that a bell-shaped velocity profiles are generally observed in the handwriting motion. We, therefore, assume that the handwriting speed has an important role in control and generation of this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 27 Aug 2012 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
