A hybrid approach to EMG pattern analysis for classification of arm movements using statistical and fuzzy techniques

Micera, Silvestro, Sabatini, Angelo M., Dario, Paolo, Rossi, Bruno·1999·Medical Engineering & Physics

Abstract

In this paper, a hybrid approach is presented for discriminating a few upper limb movements by processing the electromyographic (EMG) signals from selected shoulder muscles. Statistical techniques, such as the Generalized Likelihood Ratio test, the Principal Component Analysis, autoregressive parametric modeling techniques and cepstral analysis techniques, combined with a fuzzy logic based classifier (the Abe-Lan network) are used to construct low-dimensional feature spaces with high classification rates. The experimental results show the ability of the algorithm to correctly classify all the EMG patterns related to the selected planar arm pointing movements. Moreover, the structure presented offers promise for real-time applications because of the low computation costs of the overall algorithm.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The formal scheme for EMG acquisition and analysis for prosthetic control includes signal conditioning, pre-processing, onset detection, feature extraction, dimensionality reduction, pattern recognition, and off-line and on-line learning.

    “the formal scheme for the acquisition and analysis of EMG signals for the control of prosthetic devices is composed of several modules (Zecca et al., 2002) : (1) signal conditioning, pre-processing, and detection of onset movement (Micera et al., 1999) ; (2) feature extraction; (3) dimensionality reduction; (4) pattern recognition; and (5) off-line and on-line learning.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
