	abstract = {Electromyography (EMG) test, the recording of electrical activity in muscle, is a main tool usually used to evaluate themuscle’s   activation.   This   study   aims   to   discuss   and   analyse   the   effect   of   woven   compression   bandage   (WCB)   onmuscles’   activation.   Flexor   Carpi   (FC),   Soleus   (SO),   and   Medial   Gastrocnemius   (MG)   muscles   were   selected   torepresent the wrist, ankle, and mid-calf muscles respectively, which were then evaluated by EMG electrical voltage testwith   and   without   wearing   WCB.   The   standardized   activities   used   to   test   the   FC   muscle   were   flexion-extension   andsqueezing a soft roll. While the protocol activities for MG and SO muscles were flexion-extension and walking actions.Wearing WCB significantly decreased the muscle’s activation and was associated with higher median frequency for bothSO   and   MG   muscles   during   the   tested   activities.   The   EMG   signals   were   analysed   and   filtered   using   MegaWin   andMATLAB software. Root mean square (RMS) values confirmed that wearing WCB could improve the performance of FC,SO, and MG muscles and might reduce the muscle’s fatigue during the selected activities.},
