This study introduces a novel method for estimating palmar pinch force using surface electromyography (SEMG). The technique accurately predicts grip strength, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional force transducers.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Palmar pinch force estimation is crucial for biomechanical studies, ergonomics, and clinical rehabilitation.
  • Existing force transducers are invasive and hinder natural tactile feedback.
  • Accurate muscle force data aids physicians in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a non-invasive method for estimating palmar pinch force using surface electromyography (SEMG).
  • To identify optimal myoelectric sites for reliable SEMG signal acquisition.
  • To implement and optimize an artificial neural network (ANN) for accurate SEMG-to-force mapping.

Main Methods:

  • Selected three myoelectric sites based on anatomical considerations and Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA).

  • Utilized an artificial neural network (ANN) trained with SEMG signals to estimate palmar pinch force.
  • Optimized ANN structure to prevent under- and over-fitting, tested in real-time with ten subjects.

    • Main Results:

    • SEMG signals from selected sites provided suitable information for force estimation.
    • The ANN demonstrated a short training time per subject (approx. 96s).
    • Achieved promising results with a normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE) of 0.081±0.023 and a correlation (CORR) of 0.968±0.017.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed SEMG-based method offers a promising, non-invasive approach for palmar pinch force estimation.
    • This technique can enhance biomechanical analysis, ergonomic design, and clinical decision-making in rehabilitation.
    • The study validates the efficacy of ANN in mapping SEMG signals to precise force values.
