INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
According to FIREHOUSE (2003), communication comes in many forms such as; body language,
written word, oral communication, and touch are all examples that we use every day to get our
messages across. How we use these techniques, and how others view their meaning, can greatly
influence our workplace relationships with others. Perhaps the most important form of
communication is that which establishes our credibility and trust with others, interpersonal
communication.
According to Hartley (2002), he define interpersonal communication involves face–to–face
meetings between two participants, varying roles and relationship to one another, always two–way,

1. Introduction
Mobile technology or known as handheld computers originates as a one of the trend nowadays,
which people use in their daily life. Examples of mobile device are smartphones, and tablet. Mobile
technology has been more widely and quickly adopted than any other innovation ever (Pope et al.,
2010). As we know, in this new digital era, everyone has their own phone and they use it every day
in order to communicate with others and get information. Jacobs (2009) stated that mobile access
has become a universal form of communication. It means that everyone uses mobile technology
everywhere and anywhere they wish. The

KM is the name given to the set of systematic actions that an organization can take to obtain the
greatest value from the knowledge available to it (Davenport and Prusak, 1998). Systematic means
that KM projects are intentional actions in an organizational context. Value means that KM projects
are measured according to how KM projects contribute to increased organizational ability (Prieto
and Gutierrez 2001; Goldkuhl and Braf 2002). KM as an intentional and value–adding action is not
easy to accomplish in practice (Scarbrough and Swan 1999). Scarbrough and Swan present several
case studies in KM, successful and unsuccessful in their respective KM project. A major point and
lessons from the case studies is that prevalent approaches in KM overstate technology and
understate how technology is implemented and applied. The scope of KM encompasses individual
competence and organization memory, knowledge creation from tacit to explicit knowledge,
including the role of organizations in facilitating the creation of knowledge.
Knowledge Management Systems
Knowledge management systems (KMS) refer to a class of Information systems applied to
managing organizational knowledge. That is, they are IT–based systems developed to support and
enhance the organizational processes of knowledge creation, storage/retrieval, transfer and
application. While not all KM

A time management system is a designed combination of processes, tools, techniques, and methods.
Usually time management is a necessity in any project development as it determines the project
completion time and scope.
In business, time management has morphed into everything from methodologies such as Enterprise
Resource Planning through consultant services such as Professional Organizers. When we think of
time management, however, we tend to think of personal time management, loosely defined as

managing our time to waste less time on doing the things we have to do so we have more time to do
the things we want to do. Therefore, time management is often thought of or presented as a set of
time management skills; the theory is that once we master the time management skills, we'll be
more organized, efficient, and happier. There are an abundance of books, classes, workshops, day–
planners, and seminars on time management, which teach individuals and corporations how to be
more organized and more productive. Time management has become crucial in recent years thanks
to the 24/7, busy world in which we live.
Time management is important for everyone. While time management books and seminars often
place their focus on business leaders and corporations, time management is also crucial for students,
teachers, factory workers, professionals, and home makers. Time management is perhaps most
essential for the person who owns his or her own business or who runs a

Long Tail Theory & Niche Tourism
LONG TAIL TOURISM: NEW GEOGRAPHIES FOR MARKETING NICHE TOURISM
PRODUCTS Alan A. Lew ABSTRACT. The Long Tail concept refers to the Internet–based
economy that has enabled company success through a focus on highly specialized services and
products that are not in high volume demand, but maybe in high–value demand. The concept of the
post–tourist, for example, is a Long Tail phenomenon. Long Tail marketing approaches are proving
success due to advances in communication technology and social networking that have given more
people access to a broader range of goods and services and information. The Long Tail is not
without its challenges, including increased global competition, and it has not abandoned geographic
considerations. Geography, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The books section of Amazon.com rates each book based on how many copies have been sold. More
than 30% of Amazon book sales are for those that are below its 130,000 top sellers (Anderson,
2004; "Profiting from Obscurity," 2005). Amazon leverages the Long Tail by providing access to
warehouses that contain a much larger selection of books that are not available at any single brick
and mortar bookstore. In 2004, eBay.com had close to 105 million registered users worldwide who
posted almost one billion items for sale, resulting in over US$32 billion in total sales ("EBay
Profit," 2004). They accomplished this by enabling its users, including both individuals and small
companies, to sell a myriad of products within the infrastructure provided by the eBay website.
Many of the items posted for sale on eBay are not immediately sold and are not even bid upon
because their demand is so low. However, there is a demand. These low amplitude products
comprise the Long Tail, and eBay may be the most successful Long Tail aggregator yet. At the same
time, however, the near monopoly position of eBay.com itself, among online auction websites,
points to some of the challenges of marketing in the Long Tail. THE LONG TAIL MARKET
APPROACH The Long Tail market has huge potential. However, it is highly distributed and highly
individualized. The lesson ofthe Long Tail is that low demand or low sales volume Alan

Currently, the part of bioethics that is most developed in Malaysia is that which relates to biosafety
which is governed by the Biosafety Act 2007 (hereinafter 'the 2007 Act'). This Act is under the
auspice of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE). However, strangely the
biotechnology industry is under the supervision of the Ministry of Science, Technology and
Innovation (MOSTI). As for the agriculture industry, the relevant ministry is the Ministry of
Agriculture, while the Ministry of Health is responsible for medical practices and food products.
The fact that different ministries are involved in governing issues in biotechnology has led to not
only the lack of coordination between them but also possible overlapping functions in implementing
the 2007 Act and its regulation. Apart from this, however, the provisions of the 2007 Act is rather
vague on other bioethical issues. The 2007 Act which was gazetted in 2007, generally provides for
biosafety and addresses all Living Modified Organisms (LMOs). It is interesting to note that
Malaysia uses the term LMOs rather than GMOs and Malaysia has made a declaration in the
Convention of Biodiversity 1994 that the former term gives meaning to the latter. The 2007 Act is
envisaged to strike a rather difficult balance between the creation of a sustainable biosafety on the
one hand and the protection of

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Information Technology Department, UiTM Kelantan has indicated
that wireless access improvements are important to students. Specifically, both the 2008/2009 &
2009/2010 surveys reports show the expansion of the wireless service requiring attention. This trend

Additional VLANs configured on these access points will require encryption (keys delivered
through the authentication process) and will not be advertised via beacon broadcasts. In this model,
when users activate their wireless network interface, the general use VLAN will be automatically
listed as an available connection. Connections to other available networks (such as department
VLANs) will have to be explicitly requested by the user in order to gain access. It should be noted
that in order to provide a cost–effective centrally managed service it is likely that wireless access
points from a single vendor will be required. 3.3 Coverage Area The buildings highlighted in red
represent where some level of wireless coverage will be available at the end of the project. Not all
buildings will have the same level of coverage. Outdoor areas and main thoroughfares will be
deployed depending on wireless access available in surrounding buildings Figure 3.1: UiTM
Kelantan Campus Map [pic] 3.4 Buildings and Classrooms The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access
Point will be used for this project. These access points will be placed on the ceilings of hallways,
classrooms, and study lounges in order, to maximize connection rates. There are ten buildings on

The Implementation of Facilities Management for Disable...
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT FOR DISABLE PERSON IN
UITM 1.0 INTRODUCTION Disable persons are special individuals who are considered missing a
functional ability compared with a normal society. The movement of people with disabilities is
limited and hard to do things without help and proper facilities. The term refers also to the
individual such as mental health problems, physical weakness, sensory, cognitive, and intellectual.
Individuals with this weakness usually occurs from birth and is also called the privileged. They also
called for the handicapped or retarded. Physical weakness, including weakness in the inability to
walk, talk, hear, and so the physical limit. Welfare of disable person have never underestimated by
the government. And the implementation of efforts undertaken by the government to help the
disabled person to move. In addition, that today we can see our facilities at specially prepared for
people with disabilities include indoor facility and route or access to somewhere. The study will be
carried out at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM). This university is an educational institution of
high standards and provide learning for indigenous students in Malaysia. In addition, the various
fields of study available to students and faculty, and the college has the right infrastructure and

This paper investigates the relationship between irrational ideas, emotion and resistance to change.
Nine organizations implementing major change were surveyed providing data from 615
respondents. The analysis showed that irrational ideas are positively correlated with behavioural
intentions to resist change. Irrational ideas and emotion together explain 44 percent of the variance
in intentions to resist. Also outlines an intervention strategy to guide management in developing a
method for approaching resistance when implementing major change. (Levine, 1997; Huston, 1992;
Steier, 1989; Arendt et al., 1995; Tessler, 1989; New and Singer, 1983). As Nord and Jermier (1994)
express it, resistance is resisted rather than being purposively managed. Therefore, in order to
successfully lead an organization through major change it is important for management to balance
both human and organization needs (Spiker and Lesser, 1995; Ackerman, 1986). Organizational
change is driven by personal change (Band, 1995; Steinburg, 1992; Dunphy and Dick, 1989).
Individual change is needed in order for organizational change to succeed (Evans, 1994). This paper
reports on a study that aimed to identify, measure and evaluate how human elements including
cognitive and affective processes are associated with an individual 's level of resistance to
organizational change. Conceptual framework The conceptual model developed for this paper

History
Why should our elementary school children study history?
There is no doubt that the primary purpose of schooling is to prepare students to function effectively
in the world, and thereby to assist society to function effectively as well. We study the past in school
not because students need to know a collection of old facts, but because history helps them
understand how the world works and how human beings behave. Knowledge of the past is required
for understanding present realities. When people share some common knowledge of history, they
can discuss their understandings with one another.

The Malaysian History Colloquium saw the gathering of national historians, and war and police
veterans from the colonial period to affirm the country's history to 500 students from institutions of
higher learning, youth groups, NGOs and the youth wings of Barisan Nasional.
The colloquium was also meant to correct the misconception of the Malayan Communist Party
being freedom fighters.
"Those who are confused were invited to listen for themselves about the experiences of those who
risked their lives to defend the nation from colonisation and communist threats during the
Emergency, so that the future generation could enjoy a better life," said the Colloquium's Secretariat
Committeemember, Profesor Dr Nordin Hussin.
The colloquium was also held in appreciation of the past generation's suffering and the physical and
mental torture they had to undergo due to economic and social oppression from communist
ideologies, hesaid.
Prof Nordin, who is head of the Centre for History, Political and Strategy Research of Universiti
Kebangsaan Malaysia, said the colloquium was divided into two sessions –– "The Challenges to the
Struggle for Independence" and "The Importance of History in the Development of aNation."
Prof Datuk Dr Ramlah Adam, a history expert and lecturer at Universiti Teknologi Mara, said the
colloquium was important in explaining to the younger generation the communist threat, which was
one of the main struggles the country had to overcome in achieving its

Weaknesses Of Wharton University

It is strategic because it is located 7 km from the city of Kuala Lumpur, and easily accessible
through various public transports. For the staff, most of the librarians hold a Master Degree in
Library Information Science. With higher academic qualifications and experiences, they are able to
serve all the users well. Moreover, the UM has a strength as the university holds rank number 114 in
Qs world university ranking, and number 27 in Asia country.
There are two weaknesses for UM which are, the structures are out–dated, and limited parking area.
Out–dated structure means that the library structure is less attractive for the students and users of a
library. The collection can be arranged in a more attractive and accessible way, new book collections
or free books should be placed ten feet from the entrance to create an atmosphere for the book as
soon as the user enters the Library. Plus, the university has limited parking area. Thus, there is a
need to build a multi–level parking space for the lecturers and students to overcome the

A. Purposes of the studies 1. What were the purposes of the studies?
The purpose of the primary study was to determine whether student anxiety and depression
increases after college entry, the extent to which adverse life experiences contribute to any
increases, and the impact of adversity, anxiety and depression on exam performance (Andrews,
& Wilding, 2004). The purpose of the secondary study was to investigate the relationship
between stress factors, perceived stress and academic performance among students in a public
institution of higher learning (Rafidah, et al, 2009).

The study used t tests for group comparisons of continuous variables, and chi–squared tests (with
Yates' correction) for dichotomous variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the
relative contribution of significant variables to the prediction of depressive and anxiety conditions
mid–course. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the relative contribution of
significant variables to 2nd year exam averages. In all the multivariate analyses, gender, age (over
21 or not) and ethnicity (white or not) were entered as control variables (Andrews, & Wilding,
2004). In the secondary study a structured, self–administered questionnaire was developed as a
mode of data collection. The questionnaire comprised of three sections, students' profile; Perceived
Stress Scale (PSS); and Stress Factors Survey (Rafidah, et al, 2009). 2. How were the participants
protected? In the primary study ethical permission was obtained from the University and students
were fully briefed about the research with assurance of anonymity and confidentiality (Andrews,
& Wilding, 2004). There is no evidence in the secondary study that the participants were
protected in any way. The study does not reference permissions or consent of any kind (Rafidah, et
al, 2009).
E. What did the researchers find? Participants in the primary study indicated a significant increase in

Nowadays, the role of technology in instruction is undeniable. We live in a digital world. No one

coursework in higher education has seen an unquestionable explosion (Scott, 1999). Although the
use of technology in higher education is more prevalent, it also shows it's significant in early
learning environment and primary school. Technological tools such as internet, digital camera, i–pad
and interactive whiteboard are used to upgrade the learning outcomes (X. Christine Wang, 2008).

Richard E. Clark stated in his research (Clark, 1994):
"First, there was no significant difference in test scores between the two groups despite the
experimental groups not attending even a single on–campus lecture. This was amazing to those
associated with the study, all of whom half–hoped to validate the significance of the class lecturer to
the learning process. This is not to say that Internet–based instruction was not heavily impacted by
the instructor. It only suggests that role of the instructor changed for the Internet–based instruction."
Therefore, distance education might not necessary prevails the learning in authentic classroom.
There are some downsides for distance learning too. For instance, the virtual and non face to face
learning space might makes some students feel lonely and isolated. They could not experience the
conviviality of a campus life. Although this problem can be solved by frequent online contact with
instructors and taking part in virtual help groups, virtual forums or virtual campus (Fominykh,
Prasolova–Førland, Morozov, & Gerasimov, 2011), there is no credible collaboration among the
students. In this point, the theory of Vygotsky which advocated that learning occurs throughout the
process of social interaction, is not implemented (Vygotsky,

National Unity
CPPS Policy Factsheet: National Unity CPPS is pleased to bring to you its "CPPS Policy Fact
Sheet" on national unity. In this factsheet, we will look at government policies which affect national
unity and explore their effects on social cohesion and integrity in Malaysia. BACKGROUND
Malaysia is one of the most plural and heterogeneous countries in the world, with three major ethnic
groups – Malay, Chinese, and Indian – plus several other indigenous tribes. It has a checkered
history, having been under four different colonial powers at one time or another since the 16th
century. This ethnic and cultural diversity is reflected in the wide variety of languages spoken and
religions practiced in Malaysia; even within the same ethnic ... Show more content on

For religious discrimination, the same figures stand at 82% for the Malays and 53% for others.
(CPPS Minda Muda study) Recent polls suggest that ethnic inequality is the 2nd–most pressing
issues faced by Malaysians, at 17%, with only price hikes and inflation considered more pressing,
coming in at 20%. 63% are somewhat or very dissatisfied with government efforts to address ethnic
inequality. (Merdeka Centre Voter Opinion Poll 4 th Quarter 2007) Article 153 of the Federal
Constitution states: "It shall be the responsibility of the Yang di–Pertuan Agong to safeguard the
special position of the Malays and natives of any of the States of Sabah and Sarawak and the
legitimate interests of other communities in accordance with the provisions of this Article." Article
153 has been used to permit quotas in the provision of public scholarships, civil service positions,
and business licences. EDUCATION POLICIES Young Chinese Malaysians are considerably
dissatisfied with the state of the education system when it comes to promoting national unity. (CPPS
Minda Muda study) 64% of Chinese parents feel the education system is preparing students to be
tolerant towards those of other races and religions, as opposed to 78% of Malay parents and 83% of
Indian parents. (Merdeka Research Centre Education System Perceptions Survey) 86% of
Malaysians believe that the time has come for a national education convention involving all races to

Definitional issues: entrepreneurship, micro enterprise and rurality Numerous definition of
entrepreneurship can also be found in the literature. Hisrich and Peters (1998) define
entrepreneurship as "the process of creating something new with value by devoting the necessary
time effort assuming the accompanying financial, physic and social risks and receiving the resulting
rewards of monetary and personal satisfaction and independence" while Zacharis et al (2000) define
entrepreneurship as " any attempt to create a new business enterprise or to expand existing business
by an individual, ateam individuals or an established business". Micro enterprises are typically
defined as very small, informally run businesses, involved in activities other than crop production.
In the United States, Canada and Britain, small scale business is defined according to the number of
paid employees and total annual turnover. In Britain for example, businesses with an annual sales of
£2 million or less and have less than 200 paid employees will be classified as small scale business.
In Malaysia, small enterprise covers all enterprises employing between 5–49 workers; medium scale
enterprise employs between 50–199 workers and large enterprise has more than 200 employees.
Micro enterprise employs less than 5 workers and is normally treated as an informal sector under the
Ministry of States and Regional Development. There are still

a marked feature of MA over the past two decades. New methods such as activity based costing,
quality costing, life cycle costing, target and kaizen costing, throughput accounting, the balanced
scorecard and 'beyond budgeting' have been prominent developments extending the management
accountant's tool kit. Empirical research confirms that the new techniques are being used by
organizations to varying degrees. Although in most instances adoption has taken place in a minority

used in at least three continents. Consequently, these developments have resulted in significant

The system worked wonderfully when the British first introduced it. Somehow, it became obsolete
in 1960s. Unfortunately, there was no initiative from the respective Government to reform the
system. Perhaps, the Government then was still young to comprehend that every system will
become obsolete and have to be reform from time to time. Thus, the repercussion was the May 13,
1969 racial conflict. Nevertheless, the riot had been the turning point of both political and economic
reformation to the country. It was like "a blessing in disguise" – but of course, the cost that the
country had to pay was colossal.
MALAYSIA SHAPING THE COMMUNICATION CULTURE
Since the May 13, 1969 tragedy, the country has embarked on an affirmative development plan –
The New Economic Policy (1970–1990). The main objectives were to bring the economic disparity

gaps closer and to eradicate poverty with precise reference to the major races. In achieving those,
the principles of justice, tolerance, and equity were put into practice by all Malaysians, precisely by
the major political parties. These major political parties are led by a coalition of 14 political parties
that formed the National Front (NF). The dominant component of the coalition is the United Malays
National Organization (UMNO) representing the Malays, the Malaysian Chinese Association
(MCA), – the Chinese, and the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) – the Indians. National unity and
racial harmony become a national agenda and

garantie du produit et la déclaration peu claire du statut biologique. La recherche vise à identifier les
facteurs de la valeur perçue et leurs effets sur l'intention d'achat des consommateurs en Malaisie.
Les conclusions de l'étude indiquent que parmi les quatre facteurs, seulement la valeur perçue et la
conscience de la santé ont une l'influence sur l'intention d'achat des consommateurs. Toutefois, la
préoccupation de sécurité alimentaire et des facteurs religieux ont été découvert d'avoir moins

étude devrait fournir aux acteurs de l'industrie ainsi qu'aux académiciens une compréhension sur les
facteurs qui influecent l'intention d'achat des produits alimentaires biologiques des consommateurs

The study used a 5–item Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) developed by Diener et al. (1985) to
measure undergraduate student's life satisfaction and were measured using a 5–point Likert scale,
ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree with a high overall reliability of 0.78 in this
study. Students were asked to state their degree of satisfaction with several aspects of life including
educational experience, academic performance, friendships, health and living environment. Results
show that there was a significant negative correlation between the two variables with higher levels
of perceived stress associated with lower levels of satisfaction with life (Alleyne & Greenidge,

It is to enable the informants to talk about their experience, feelings, and opinions of a subject.
Different interview techniques such as probing questions, responding to the informants, showing
interest, reconfirming the response, taking notes, follow up and remind the informants to stay in line
with the topic when deviation occurs, and keep the informants to talk and express their view were
used during the interview. Then the interview data were documented and decoded. Data collected
was kept as confidential and private, only used by researcher and related supervisor for academic
purposes. The informants of this research were drawn from human resource managers or human
resource representatives of corporations. Four companies, which are locating in Kuala Lumpur and
Kuching, had been selected due to the accessibility of the researcher and because Kuala Lumpur is
one of the most developed areas in Malaysia, therefore it is easier to identify the suitable companies
for study. In this study, the purposive sampling method was used to identify the informants, thus the
sample sizes may not be predetermined prior to data collection, and it depends on the resources and
time available, as well as the study's objectives [9]. As a result, there were four informants involved
in this study. To enhance the reliability of the data, sound recorder was utilised to record the

Raymond (2010) "Planned effort by a company to facilitate to employees' learning of job
competencies. These competencies include knowledge, skills or behaviors that are critical for

other global competitors. "By continuously providing training and development opportunity to ...
Therefore, in this study, the relationship between training and job performance among academicians
will be testable to investigate the relationship between variables. Statement of The Problem The
implementation of training will result to the changes of job performance. Typically, in profits
organization, performance can be measure in many ways for example in term of financial can be
refer to the number of sales made by effective employees, and in term of operational is referred to
the employees effectiveness of solving problem or management effectives. (Safdar, Rehman,
Waheed & Rafiq, as cited in Curtis, et al. 1995). Training is also crucial to the employees as
without an adequate training, poorly trained employees may do not perform well in their job task
and lead to poor job performance (Robert & John 2004). Especially in education field, the
institution is a non–profits organization. Springer, M., & Gardner, C., (2010) stated that, the
performance measurement on lecturer is different and more complex than the business profits
worker for example, the number of sale is can be calculate by how much the product have been sold
to the customer. This is obviously different because from the profession of teaching as they are
providing services that is teaching and mentoring their students, which also happens to be their
clients. The academicians will give a contribution to the

The patch antenna plays a very important role in today's world of wireless communication systems
.There is always a large demand for high performance ,small size and low cost wireless
communication systems .in order to get these requirements ,planar patch antenna is preferred
because of their various advantages such as light weight ,low volume ,low cost and ease for
fabrication .although the microstrip patch antenna has various advantages it has various
disadvantages which are low gain ,narrow bandwidth and low efficiency .These disadvantages can
be overcome by constructing many patch antennas in array configuration. Recently there has been
increasing demand in the use of DGSs for performance enhancement of microstrip patch antennas
and planar array antennas .there are basically two types of structures which are used for the design
of compact and high performance wireless communication systems named as defected ground
structures (DGS) and electromagnetic band–gap structures (EBG) which is also known as photonic
band–gap structure(PBG). These structures have been used to obtain the functions such as unwanted
frequency rejection and circuit size reduction. Recently defected ground structures have been
introduced; DGSs are realized by simply etching off simple shape (called as defect) from the ground
plane .Depending upon the shape and the dimensions of the defects ,the current distribution in the
ground plane is disturbed and resulting in a controlled

Marshall et al., (1999), interviewed a diversity of professional salespeople to give evidence for 49
new sales activities that were not pointed out in Moncrief's (1986) original list. These latest
activities fall into the following main categories: communication technology, selling technology,
activities related to adaptive and consultative selling, and team–oriented activities. Many of the
specific activities within these categories involve skills and content knowledge dissimilar from those
traditionally observed in the past as key salesperson success factors.
This study therefore investigates the salesperson professional selling (salesperson knowledge and

adaptive selling) and the effect on buyer and salesperson relationship through customer loyalty, in
the Malaysian retail sector. Oliver's (1997) model which follows the cognition–affect–conation
pattern is use in the development of this study.
2. Methods
2.1 Sampling design
To have a representative finding, the sampling technique used must be objective. This is an
important effort adopted by most researchers in order to furnish a finding pertinent to the general.
To choose the sample for this study, probability random sampling was used. A probability sample is
necessary if the sample is to be representative of the population
(Reeves, 1992). Therefore, a two–stage systematic sampling technique is employed in this study.

What Is Electromyography Is A Method For Evaluate Levels...
Abstract: Electromyography is a method to evaluate levels of muscular activity. When a muscle
fiber contracts, an action potential is generated and this circulates along the muscular fibers. In
electromyography, electrodes are connected to the skin and the electrical activity of muscles is
measured and graph is plotted. The surface electromyography signals selected during the muscular
activity are interfaced with a system. The EMG signals from individual suffering from Neuropathy
and healthy individual, so obtained, are processed and analyzed using signal processing techniques.
This project includes the investigation and interpretation of EMG signals of healthy and
Neuropathic individuals using MATLAB. The prospective utilization of this study is in developing
the prosthetic device for the people with Neuropathic disability.
Keywords: EMG, action potential, MATLAB, Neuropathy.
I. INTRODUCTION
Human gait is a periodic activity and a well incorporated effort of brain, nerves and muscles. It is
based on the harmonized action of 28 main muscles to manage the trunk and limbs. This action
generates the energy required to oppose gravity and thrust the body frontward. All the individuals
have different gait [1].
With a large population of disabled people worldwide, assistive technologies and techniques are in
demand notably. Globally, more than 1 billion people are disabled, which is approximately 15% of
the total world population. To bring improvement to the life quality of
