In order to early diagnosis and treatment of knee abnormalities, in this study an automated diagnosis system using wearable EMG and goniometer sensors is proposed. Eight different classification techniques are investigated with a set of time-domain features. The experiments are conducted with 22 subjects' data and the best accuracy of 97.17% is achieved based on the Bagged Decision Trees classifier...
This paper describes a means of controlling the knee movement of a powered knee prosthesis during non-weight-bearing activity such as sitting, by utilizing surface EMG from the quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups in the residual limb. The method was implemented on a powered prosthesis on three amputee subjects, and experimental results are presented characterizing the ability of the amputee subjects...
Lower limb amputees form a large portion of the amputee population; however, current lower limb prostheses do not meet the needs of patients with high-level amputations who need to perform multi-joint coordinated movements. A critical missing element is an intuitive neural interface from which user intent can be determined. Surface EMG has been used as control source for upper limb prostheses for...
