| Abstract: | We analyzed the capability of previously introduced Convolution Kernel Compensation (CKC) method to identify clusters of motor units (MUs) that share similar motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) and, therefore, cannot be mutually discriminated by the decomposition of high-density surface electromyograms (hdEMG). The tests were performed on biceps brachii muscle because hdEMG decomposition yields relatively small number of individual MUs in this muscle.
In this study, we analyzed how many MUs of biceps brachii get merged into the same spike train by the CKC method due to MUAP similarity and what are the sensitivity and precision of MU discharge identification in merged spike trains. We compared these metrics with the identification of individual MUs in both synthetic and experimental hdEMG. In synthetic hdEMG with 20 dB noise, the number of identified MUs increased from 5.2 ± 2.8 (individual MUs) to 16.4±8.4 MUs when merged MU spike trains were taken into consideration, in addition to individual MUs. Discharges of individual MUs were identified with sensitivity of 77.0±15.8 % and precision of 86.1±25.4 %, whereas the merg ed MUs were identified with sensitivity of 79.6±15.7 % and precision of 97.4±11.8 %. Similar results were observed also for noiseless hdEMG.
In experimental hdEMG signals from biceps brachii muscle of two young healthy individuals, the number of identified MUs increased from 7.5±2.4 (individual MUs) to 21.9±17.6 MUs (merged MU spike trains). Individual MUs were identified with sensitivity of 83.3±15.9 % and precision of 80.0±19.0 %, whereas when considering also merged MUs, the sensitivity and precision of MU discharge identification increased to 82.3±22.4 % and 94.9±11.4 %, respectively.
In conclusion, the merged MU spike trains obtained by hdEMG decompositions carry important information about the activity of skeletal muscles and can be used to increase the number of MUs identified from hdEMG. |
