A Study on Human Upper-Limb Muscles Activities during Daily Upper-Limb Motions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human upper-limb involves for many daily human activities. The human intention for upperlimb motions can be estimated based on the activation pattern of upper-limb muscles. The upper-limb muscle activities during the daily upper-limb motions have been studied to enable power-assist robotic exoskeleton systems to estimate human upper-limb motions based on muscle electromyographic (EMG) signals. The relationship between the upper-limb motions and the activity levels of main muscles concerning the daily upper-limb motions are analyzed in this study. The muscle combinations are identified to separate each basic motions of upper-limb. The EMG signals of identified muscles will be used as input information to design the controllers of the upper-limb power-assist robotic exoskeleton systems.
