N2 - In this paper, we present a system that integrates inertial sensors and electromyogram (EMG) signals, which measures the muscular activities while performing motions. The objective of our study is to investigate the behaviour of the EMG signals to interpret the activity of standing balance. Quantitative parameters for balance are obtained from an inertial sensor through a body-sensor network. These parameters are further used to find the prominent features in the EMG signal. The inertial sensor used in this system is an accelerometer. The implementation details and effectiveness of using EMG signals are also provided.
