Content available remote EMG-controlled hand exoskeleton for assisted bilateral rehabilitation
EN
This article presents an electromyography (EMG) controlled hand exoskeleton for basic movements in assisted bilateral therapy, where bimanual work is required by the user. The target users are individuals with the right hand affected by an accident or cerebrovascular problems which require passive or assisted rehabilitation. Through a Matlab GUI, the system receives, processes and classifies electromyographic signals from the user acquired by a MYO armband obtaining an accuracy of 81.2% using k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) as the classification algorithm and Random Subset Feature Selection (RSFS) as the feature selection algorithm. Subsequently, the exoskeleton reproduces the movement detected in the user’s opposite hand. The exoskeleton prototype is 8 degrees of freedom (DOF), built using 3D printing and has independent movement of the fingers. The movement controller is based on fuzzy logic. For the system performance analysis, kinematic information from a motion capture system is used to compare the trajectories in different grasping tasks of a user’s hand with and without the exoskeleton with a maximum error of 10.63% and a minimum of 3.46% with the desired final position, which physically represents a difference of 1.89° and 0.07° respectively.

The analysis of electromyographic signals can be very time consuming. In designing a program for EMG signal analysis, there are two competing factors: the accuracy of the final result and its speed. In scientific work, accuracy is the most important factor. All of the existing decomposition programs used in neurophysiology require a final phase of manual corrections, if reliable results are to be obtained. This phase is considerably longer than the phase of automatic recognition. The solutions presented below, used in our new MUR program, allow for the accurate decomposition of complex EMG signals in a reasonable amount of time. The decomposition is performed interactively with optimal time division between automatic and manual tasks. All of this is achieved through a simple method of automatic recognition with the use of the modified coefficient of determination and the method of multiple subtractions of potentials.

Background: In recent years, as a result of the usage of electronic gadgets in vehicles, driver inattention has become one of the major causes of road accidents that lead to severe physical injuries, deaths and significant economic losses. Statistics ensure the need of a reliable driver inattention detection system that can alert the driver before a mishap happens. Methods: In this work, we aimed to develop a system that can detect inattention using electrocardiogram (ECG) and surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals. Cognitive and visual inattention was manipulated by asking the driver to respond to phone calls and short messaging services, respectively. A total of 15 male subjects participated in the data collection process. The subjects were asked to drive for two hours in a simulated environment at three different times of the day. ECG, sEMG and video were obtained throughout the experiment. The gathered physiological signals were preprocessed to remove noises and artefacts. The inattention features were extracted from the preprocessed signals using conventional statistical, higher-order statistical and higher-order spectral features. The features were classified using k-nearest neighbour analysis, linear discriminant analysis and quadratic discriminant analysis. Results: The bispectral features gave overall maximum accuracies of 98.12% and 90.97% for the ECG and EMG signals, respectively. Conclusion: We conclude that ECG and EMG signals can be explored further to develop a robust and reliable inattention detection system.

Power-line interference is always a problem when biopotential signals are recorded. This paper presents a technique for time-efficient power-line interference suppression from EMG signals using digital IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) notch filters with reduced transient response. The reduction of the transient response is obtained by finding optimal non-zero initial conditions for the considered notch filters. Simulations verifying the effectiveness of the proposed technique are presented and compared with the performance of the traditional notch filters with zero initial conditions using EMG signal with unwanted sinusoidal interferences as a study case.

Celem przeprowadzonych badań było wykazanie użyteczności sygnału EMG (elektromiograficznego) w teorii sterowania. Przeprowadzono badanie stwierdzające powiązanie pomiędzy aktywnością elektryczną mięśni (biceps i triceps brachii) a siłą mięśniową w warunkach statycznych. Opracowano algorytm obróbki danych elektromiograficznych. Wykazano liniową zależność pomiędzy omawianymi wielkościami fizycznymi jednocześnie potwierdzając użyteczność sygnału EMG jako sygnału sterującego. Jednakże zaleca się poszerzenie przeprowadzonych badań o badania dynamiczne skurczu mięśnia.

The aim of the study was to perform sEMG (surfacial electromyography) signal analysis focusing on its applicability for control purposes. Research that aimed at determining the relation between electromuscular activity and static muscular force was conducted. Algorithm for processing of the obtained data was prepared. Linear dependence of the aforementioned quantities was established, therefore the convenience of usage of sEMG as a control signal was confirmed. However, further research on the dynamics of muscular contraction is necessary.

Content available remote Finger curvature movement recognition interface technique using SEMG signals
EN
Purpose: Until recently, keyboard has been used as the primary input method for machinery operation system. But in recent years, numerous methods related to direct input interface have been developed. One of them is to measure the surface electric potential that generates on the skin surface during muscle contraction. Based of this fact, hand finger operation can also be recognized with the help of the surface muscle electric potential. The purpose of this study is to identify the hand finger operation using surface electromyogram (SEMG) during crookedness state of the finger. Design/methodology/approach: Two electrodes (Ag-AgCl electrode) were sticked randomly on the forearm muscles and the intensity of EMG signals at different muscles were measured for each crooked finger. Then depending on the intensity of the obtained electric potentials, a position was located and considered to have participated most actively during the crookedness state of that finger. Thus five locations on the forearm muscles were identified for five different fingers. Moreover, four different types of crookedness states were considered for each finger. Findings: In this experimental study, the electric current that generates on the skin during muscle activity was measured for different hand finger operations. As a result, it is found that there is a specified position related the maximum intensity of EMG signals for each finger. Practical implications: This paper cleared that the amount of crookedness of each finger can also be recognized with the help of surface EMG. It could be used as a machine interface technology in the field of welfare equipments, robot hand operation, virtual reality, etc. Originality/value: The objective of this research project was to develop the method of recognizing the hand finger operation and their crookedness states from surface electromyogram (SEMG).
