Firstly, single fiber action potential (SFAP), motor unit action potential (MUAP) and motor unit action potential train(MUAPT) are simulated based on the tripolar signal source model, and then the sEMG is obtained; secondly, the simulated sEMG signal is extracted from the mixed signals that consists of white noises, power frequency interference signal and electrocardio signal by independent component analysis (ICA) algorithms; lastly, the spikes corresponding to each motor unit action potential from the simulated sEMG signals were detected by applying the wavelet transform (WT) method. Simulation results showed that sEMG model could describe the physiological process of sEMG, ICA and WT methods could extract the sEMG signal and its features, which will lay a foundation for further classifying the MUAP.展开更多

Hysteresis effect is a phenomenon in EMG force relationship. In this work, a path-dependent model based on hysteresis effect was used for continuously estimating wrist torque from surface EMG signals. The surface EMG signals of the flexor carpi ulnaris(FCU) and extensor carpi radialis(ECR) were collected along with wrist torque of flexion/extension degree-of-freedom. EMG signal of FCU was used to estimate the torque of wrist flexion and EMG signal of ECR to estimate the torque of wrist extension. The existence of hysteresis effect has been proven either during wrist flexion or extension on all subjects.And the estimation performance of path-dependent model is much better than the overall model. Thus, the path-dependent model is suitable to improve the wrist torque's estimation accuracy.展开更多
