307 Analysis of Activity of Forearm Muscles with Measured Surface Electromyography Distribution

August 2009 · The Proceedings of the Dynamics & Design Conference

Measurements by surface electromyography (sEMG) are noninvasive and simple to apply to obtain signals of muscle action potentials. However, the sEMG potentials of muscles near the electrode are superimposed, called "crosstalk". This paper develops a method measuring individual muscle activity of forearm muscles using sEMG distribution and a conduction model of the forearm for measuring individual ... [Show full abstract] muscle activities. The optimized individual muscle activities are calculated from sEMG with flexion load to a middle phalanx of a middle finger of 3 subjects. As a result, the muscle activity of flexor digitorum superficialis nearly proportional to load was obtained.

G0200-3-2 Muscle Force Estimation of Individual Forearm Muscles Using Surface Electromyography

September 2010 · The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting

Human hand achieves complex and various actions with cooperative activities of muscles in the forearm. Muscles' activity measurements are available to evaluate the work efficiency of human hands operations and quantify the degree of disease related in the hands. Surface electromyography (EMG) is a generally used method for the measurement using some electrodes attached on the skin surface. ... [Show full abstract] Though, for the forearm muscles, the measurement of the activity of individual muscle is difficult because of the superimposition of the EMG signals from muscles, called "cross-talk problem". Previously we developed a muscle analytical system to estimate the individual muscle activity from the surface EMG distributions detected on the skin of forearm. In this study, we apply the system to analyze the synergetic activities of the forearm muscles during the palmar flexion load applying to the carpal joint. The result shows that both the synergetic muscles and antagonist muscles operated against the palmar flexion load. The individual muscle activity could be identified from the surface EMG measurements analyzed in this system.

Chinese Sign Language Recognition Based on An Optimized Tree-structure Framework

May 2016 · IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics

Chinese sign language (CSL) subword recognition based on surface electromyography (sEMG), accelerometer (ACC) and gyroscope (GYRO) sensors was explored in this paper. In order to fuse effectively the information of these three kinds of sensors, the classification abilities of sEMG, ACC, GYRO and their combinations in three common sign components (one or two handed, hand orientation and hand ... [Show full abstract] amplitude) were evaluated firstly and then an optimized tree-structure classification framework was proposed for CSL subword recognition. Eight subjects participated in this study and recognition experiments under different testing conditions were implemented on a target set consisting of 150 CSL subwords. The proposed optimized tree-structure classification framework based on sEMG, ACC and GYRO obtained the best performance among seven different testing conditions with single sensor, paired-sensor fusion and three-sensor fusion, and the overall recognition accuracies of 94.31% and 87.02% were obtained for 150 CSL subwords in user-specific test and user-independent test respectively. Our study could lay a basis for the implementation of large-vocabulary sign language recognition system based on sEMG, ACC and GYRO sensors.
