Spatio-Temporal Based Descriptor for Limb Movement-Intent Characterization in EMG-Pattern Recognition System

Electromyogram (EMG) pattern-recognition (PR) is the most widely adopted prostheses/rehabilitation robots control method that seamlessly support multi-degrees of freedom (MDF) function in an intuitive fashion. The feature extraction framework applied in such PR-based control essentially determines the control performance of the prosthetic device. Based on the drawbacks of the commonly utilized feature extraction methods, this study proposed a...
