Abstract Background An important measure of the performance of a myoelectric ME control system for powered artificial limbs is the signal-to-noise ratio SNR at the output of ME channel. However few studies illustrated the neuron-muscular interactive effects on the SNR at ME control channel output. In order to obtain a comprehensive understanding on the relationship between the physiology of individual motor unit and the ME control performance this study investigates the effects of physiological factors on the SNR of single ME channel by an analytical and simulation approach where the SNR is defined as the ratio of the mean squared value estimation at the channel output and the variance of the estimation. Methods Mathematical models are formulated based on three fundamental elements a motoneuron firing mechanism .
