Abstract

Surface electromyography signal (sEMG) is deeply related with the activation of motor muscle and motion of human body, which can be used to estimate the intention of the human movement. So it is advantaged in the application of bilateral rehabilitation, where hemiplegic patients can perform rehabilitation training to their impaired limbs following the motion of intact limbs by using a certain training tool. Therefore, a novel framework based primarily on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was developed to reduce all the three noise contaminations from surface EMG. In addition to regular EMD, the ensemble EMD (EEMD) was also examined for surface EMG de-noising. The advantages of the EMD based methods were demonstrated by comparing them with the traditional digital filters, using signals derived from our routine electrode array surface EMG recordings. The experiments showed good performance of motion recognition with EEMD compared to the angel record derived from an inertia sensor.
