varargout = MUSCLE_COCONTRACTION(muscle1,muscle2) computes co-contraction indices for
muscle pairs (muscle 1 and muscle2)
ARGUMENTS
muscle1 ... n x 1 or 1 x n vector of processed EMG data
muscle2 ... n x 1 or 1 x n vector of processed EMG data
method ... Choice of algorithm to use. Choices: 'Rudolph',
'Falconer', 'Lo2017'. See notes for more details.
plotGraph ... Choice to plot graph (boolean). Default false
RETURNS
cc (co-contraction indices) ... n x 1 vector of co-contraction indices
in case of Rudolph and Falconer
(or)
cc (common area curve) and cc_value ... (1) n x 1 vector of minima form two curves
used to estimate co-contraction incase
of Lo2017 (2) co-contraction value
