    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Technology
    • Neuroprosthetics

    Background:

    • Long-term functionality of upper limb prostheses is vital for patient adoption.
    • Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a key technology for prosthetic control.
    • Understanding the day-to-day reliability of sEMG-based control is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the daily reliability of pattern classification algorithms using sEMG signals for upper limb prosthesis control.
    • To quantify the performance degradation of sEMG-based control over multiple days.

    Main Methods:

    • sEMG signals were recorded from forearm muscles of five healthy subjects over five consecutive days.
    • Pattern classification approaches were employed to analyze the sEMG data for movement classification.
    • Performance metrics were evaluated daily to assess reliability.

    Main Results:

    • A monotonic decrease in classification performance was observed, averaging 4.1% per day.
    • The accumulated classification errors were concentrated within three of the eight investigated movement classes.
    • This indicates a decline in the system's ability to accurately interpret intended movements over time.

    Conclusions:

    • The daily performance degradation of sEMG-based pattern classification poses a challenge for the long-term viability of upper limb prostheses.
    • Identifying specific movement classes with higher error accumulation is crucial for targeted improvements.
    • Further research is needed to enhance the robustness and long-term stability of these control systems for commercial applications.
