20.500.12556/DKUM-48147 Real-time motor unit identification from high-density surface EMG This study addresses online decomposition of high-density surface electromyograms (EMG) in real-time. The proposed method is based on previouslypublished Convolution Kernel Compensation (CKC) technique and sharesthe same decomposition paradigm, i.e. compensation of motor unit action potentials and direct identification of motor unit (MU) discharges. In contrast to previously published version of CKC, which operates in batch mode and requires ~ 10 s of EMG signal, the real-time implementation begins with batch processing of ~ 3 s of the EMG signal in the initialization stage and continues on with iterative updating of the estimators of MU discharges as blocks of new EMG samples become available. Its detailed comparison to previously validated batch version of CKC and asymptotically Bayesian optimal Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) estimator demonstrates high agreementin identified MU discharges among all three techniques. In the case of synthetic surface EMG with 20 dB signal-to-noise ratio, MU discharges were identified with average sensitivity of 98 %. In the case of experimental EMG, real-time CKC fully converged after initial 5 s of EMG recordings and real-time and batch CKC agreed on 90 % of MU discharges, on average. The real-time CKC identified slightly fewer MUs than its batch version (experimental EMG, 4 MUs versus 5 MUs identified by batch CKC, on average), but required only 0.6 s of processing time on regular personal computer for each second of multichannel surface EMG. discharge pattern high-density EMG surface EMG motor unit real time decomposition true true true Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Članek v reviji 2015-05-25 16:53:42 2015-05-25 16:53:42 2022-05-24 03:06:17 2022-03-30 03:06:32 2013 0 0 str. 949-958 #no. #6 #Vol. #21 Nov. 2013 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 007.5:61 320873 17016854 10.1109/TNSRE.2013.2247631 1534-4320 URN:SI:UM:DK:ESQB5L8H Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
