Evaluation of Different Time and Frequency Domain Features of Motor Neuron and Musculoskeletal Diseases

چکیده
Motor neuron and musculoskeletal diseases are the most frequently inherited muscular disorders. Motor neuron diseases are mostly found among people within 35-70 years of age, which selectively affect the motor neurons. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common variant of motor neuron diseases that progressively degenerates the motor cells in the brain and spinal cord, so that the muscles no longer receive signals to move. As a result, the body becomes paralyzed, which means that the muscles no longer work. On the other hand, one of the most common musculoskeletal diseases is myopathy which causes the weakness of the muscles. Muscle cramps, tautness and spasm are also associated with myopathy. One of the possible ways to investigate the indispensable features of the ALS and myopathy diseases independently in individuals is to analyze the electromyography (EMG) signals that are basically
