Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Rehabilitation Engineering
Signal Processing

Background:

Electromyography (EMG) pattern recognition is crucial for intuitive control of multifunction myoelectric prostheses.
Existing feature extraction and projection methods may lack efficiency or sufficient class separability for complex hand motions.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an efficient linear supervised feature projection method for EMG pattern recognition.
To enhance the classification accuracy and reduce processing time for myoelectric hand control.

Main Methods:

Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) was used to extract feature vectors from four-channel EMG signals.
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) was employed for dimensionality reduction, maximizing class separability of WPT features.
Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) was utilized for classifying the LDA-reduced features into nine distinct hand motions.

Main Results:

LDA demonstrated superior class separability compared to three other feature projection methods.
LDA-projected features significantly improved classification accuracy.
The real-time control system achieved 97.2% recognition accuracy for multifunction myoelectric hand control.
All control processes were completed within a 97-millisecond timeframe.

Conclusions:

Linear Discriminant Analysis is an effective method for EMG feature projection in myoelectric hand control.
The proposed WPT-LDA-MLP approach offers high accuracy and efficiency for real-time prosthetic applications.
This method provides a robust solution for improving the dexterity and usability of myoelectric hands.
