چکیده

In this study four pairs of Ag/AgCl surface electrodes respectively that pasted on the muscle belly of the biceps, triceps in the upper arm, palmaris longus and the brachioradialis muscle in the forearm are used to collect the electromyography (EMG) signals of six patterns of upper limb movements. The feature vectors of the EMG are extracted by wavelet decomposition method, and then these features are classified by the method of the support vector machine. Experimental results show that the wavelet decomposition is an effective feature extraction method. For small samples, nonlinear and high dimensional classification problems, the support vector machine method has better classification effect and generalization performance than the traditional BP neural network. To speed up the computation of the SVM and adapt the increase of the samples, the incremental SVM is also introduced. By comparing with the traditional SVM method, the advantage of the incremental SVM is demonstrated.

Identification of Upper Limb Movements through EMG Signals with Fuzzy Logic Algorithm

Electromyography consists on recording the electrical potential generated by the activation of muscle fibers when performing voluntary or involuntary movements. Thus, EMG signals (EMGs) are directly linked to the human intention of motion. However, due to the random nature of EMGs; the correct prediction of the intention of motion is considered the most difficult part of the myoelectric control...

Continuous Recognition of Multifunctional Finger and Wrist Movements in Amputee Subjects Based on sEMG and Accelerometry

BACKGROUND While the classification of multifunctional finger and wrist movement based on surface electromyography (sEMG) signals in intact subjects can reach remarkable recognition rates, the performance obtained from amputated subjects remained low. METHODS In this paper, we proposed and evaluated the myoelectric control scheme of upper-limb prostheses by the continuous recognition of 17 mu...
