The guidelines for electrodes placement as well as skin preparation has been specified by Surface Electromyography for the Noninvasive Assessment of Muscles (SENIAM) project that can be used by sEMG researcher to perform suitable sEMG electrode placement in their experiment setup. According to previous researchers the best position to place electrodes for specified muscle is at the muscle belly. However there is no special instrument to measure or identify the exact location of the muscle belly. The uncertainty of exact location for electrodes placement could be a problem if a signal is expected to be recorded and studied from the same muscle for certain period of time or days where electrodes need to be attach and reattach, since it would record different sEMG values even though subject perform similar muscle contraction. Thus to overcome this problem we set up a range of location where sEMG electrodes could be placed to get right EMG recording from the same muscle. We tested on deltoid lateral muscle, and as result sEMG data that were recorded by the electrodes that we placed 1cm apart from its initial position will still be at least 90% similar to reference data. The comparison between tested sEMG data and reference sEMG deltoid data were accomplished by using Euclidean Distance function.","PeriodicalId":185167,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computational Approach in Smart Systems Design and Applications (ICASSDA)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129213867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under episodic condition that cannot be predicted, FoG influences gait in term of delay and sudden inability to perform walking. FoG does not respond well to treatment through medication; therefore effective non-medication assistance is necessary. A wearable assistance system for FoG detection has been developed to assist patients in order to proceed walking. However, current objective evaluations for automated FoG detection are not sufficient as only the standard time-based and frequency-based features were extracted and there are still spaces for improvement in term of FoG detection performance. In this paper, we first attempt to adapt and extend current robust feature extraction and inference techniques in order to include additional features compared to the currently existing features. Then we go a step further by applying feature selection with the purpose of obtaining the maximum recognition results using the current available DAPHNet dataset. This dataset was collected using a wearable health assistive system that consists of 3-axes accelerometer to measure patient's movement. Ten PD patients were chosen to perform several walking tasks under laboratory environment. The overall performance was evaluated via subject-dependent and subject independent using the proposed feature extraction, feature selection and classification algorithms. The outcomes showed that the suggested machine learning methods had the ability in detecting FoG with maximum mean accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and area under curve (AUC) of approximately 99%.","PeriodicalId":185167,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computational Approach in Smart Systems Design and Applications (ICASSDA)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117112948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The recovery of the arm could be optimized if the rehabilitation therapy is in a right manner. Upper limb weakness after stroke is prevalent in rehabilitation, many factors that can deficit muscle strength there are neural, muscle structure and function change after stroke. Maximum Voluntary Contraction (MVC) is one of the methods to rescale per cent of a reference value unique and standardized for all subjects within a study, This allows to compare of electromyography signal findings between subjects directly and quantitative. The objective of this research to evaluate muscle strength fatigue for movement sequence rehabilitation after stroke. 5 healthy subjects including both male and female performed a functional movement and a fundamental movement. Electromyography device is used to measure and record movement arm involving deltoid, biceps and flexor carpum ulnaris (FCU). A signal processing technique is employed to analyze the upper limb movement signals and several movement features are determined, which is the root mean square (RMS) and mean absolute value (MAV). By referring to the information from the previous research frequency domain (FD) feature is usually used in the assessing muscle strength fatigue. The experiment results show that for the highest value of movement sequence contraction based of MVC for deltoid muscle is 96% (RMS) and 93% (MAV) by subject #1 and the highest value for biceps is 90% (RMS) and 93% (MAV) by subject #4. The highest value for FCU muscle is 78% (RMS) and 82% (MAV) by subject #5. And the highest power contraction for movement sequence based MVC is deltoid muscle with 88% (RMS) and 90% (MAV) and the lowest power contraction for movement sequence based MVC is 49% (RMS) and 58% (MAV). The benefit of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) is important to rescaling to a per cent of a reference value unique and standardized for all subjects. Maximum voluntary contraction is important because it can be used to rescaling value of EMG signal, to be a reference value for analysis and investigation of muscle contraction and can be used to classification subject or patient based muscle contraction. Differences in muscle strength each human are caused by several factors including age, muscle sizes, muscle conditions and body conditions.","PeriodicalId":185167,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computational Approach in Smart Systems Design and Applications (ICASSDA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122637753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
