Abstract
Feature extraction is essential in Electromyography pattern recognition (EMG-PR) based prostheses control method. Time-domain features have been shown to have good performance in upper limb movement classification. However, the performance of EMG-PR prostheses driven by the existing time-domain features is still unsatisfactory. Hence, this study proposed three new time-domain features to improve the performance of EMG-PR based strategy in arm movement classification. EMG signals were recorded from the residual arms of eight amputees while performing different upper limb movements. Then, the newly proposed features were extracted and used to classify their limb movements. Experimental results showed that the proposed features could achieved an average classification accuracy of 92.00%â±â3.11% which was 6.49% higher than that of the commonly used time-domain features (pâ<â0.05). With three additional metrics, the proposed features also performed better, which suggest that the new features may be potential for improving the clinical performance of EMG-PR prostheses.
