Online Intramuscular EMG Decomposition with Varying Number of Active Motor Units
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the online decomposition of intramuscular electromyographic (iEMG) signals. A Markov model is proposed, which takes into account a varying number of firing motor neurons. A Bayes filter detects online the firing motor units by using a dictionary of approximated motor unit action potentials waveforms, and estimates precisely the action potential shapes and the respective firing rates. The method was tested on both simulated and experimental signals.

Comparative Analysis of Wavelet-based Feature Extraction for Intramuscular EMG Signal Decomposition
Background: Electromyographic (EMG) signal decomposition is the process by which an EMG signal is decomposed into its constituent motor unit potential trains (MUPTs). A major step in EMG decomposition is feature extraction in which each detected motor unit potential (MUP) is represented by a feature vector. As with any other pattern recognition system, feature extraction has a significant impac...
متن کاملIntramuscular EMG Decomposition Basing on Motor Unit Action Potentials Detection and Superposition Resolution
A novel electromyography (EMG) signal decomposition framework is presented for the thorough and precise analysis of intramuscular EMG signals. This framework first detects all of the active motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) and assigns single MUAP segments to their corresponding motor units. MUAP waveforms that are found to be superimposed are then resolved into their constituent single MUAP...
متن کاملAnalysis of intramuscular electromyogram signals.
Intramuscular electromyographic (EMG) signals are detected with needles or wires inserted into muscles. With respect to non-invasive techniques, intramuscular electromyography has high selectivity for individual motor unit action potentials and is thus used to measure motor unit activity. Decomposition of intramuscular signals into individual motor unit action potentials consists in detection a...
متن کاملDischarge properties of motor units of the abductor hallucis muscle during cramp contractions.
We analyzed individual motor units during electrically elicited cramp contractions with the aim of characterizing the variability and degree of common oscillations in their discharges. Intramuscular and surface electromyographic (EMG) signals were detected from the abductor hallucis muscle of 11 healthy subjects (age 27.0+/-3.7 yr) during electrically elicited cramps. In all, 48 motor units wer...
