Finger Angle Estimation From Array EMG System Using Linear Regression Model With Independent Component Analysis

Surface ElectroMyoGraphy (EMG) signals from the forearm used in prosthetic hand and finger control systems require precise anatomy data of finger muscles that are small and located deep within the forearm. The main problem of this method is that the signal quality depends on the placement of EMG sensor, which can significantly affects the accuracy and precision to estimate joint angles or forces. Moreover, in case of amputees, the location of...
