This matrix includes a description of general considerations for normalization, design features that should be reported, definitions of each method, the pros and cons of each method, and recommendations for 10 experimental contexts.
Normalization is critical for comparability across subjects, muscles, and sessions.
The normalization method should be clearly reported and justified in publications.
Six methods for amplitude normalization:
Maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) in same task/context as the task of interest
Standardized isometric MVC (which is not necessarily matched to the contraction type in the task of interest)
Standardized submaximal task (isometric/dynamic) that can be task-specific
