Background:

Decomposition of electromyographic (EMG) signals into motor-unit action potentials is crucial for understanding muscle control.
Automated and manual decomposition methods are prone to errors, including location and identification inaccuracies, especially with ambient noise.
Existing methods require refinement to enhance the precision of motor-unit firing instance identification.

Purpose of the Study:

To classify and reduce errors in motor-unit action potential train (MUAPT) decomposition from surface EMG (sEMG) signals.
To develop and evaluate an algorithm that combines multiple decomposition estimates for improved accuracy.
To assess the algorithm's performance in reducing identification and location errors in motor-unit firing instances.

Main Methods:

Analysis of 1,061 MUAPTs from sEMG signals recorded during human voluntary contractions.
Classification of decomposition errors into location (temporal variability) and identification (missed/false detections) categories.
Development of an error-reduction algorithm leveraging multiple decomposition estimates to achieve a more probable firing instance identification.

Main Results:

The developed error-reduction algorithm successfully reduced identification errors by an average of 1.78%, achieving 97.0% accuracy.
Location errors were reduced by an average of 1.66 ms.
Algorithm performance involves a trade-off between MUAPT yield and decomposition time.

Conclusions:

The proposed error-reduction algorithm effectively mitigates decomposition errors in sEMG analysis.
This method enhances the precision of identifying motor-unit firing instances, crucial for applications like synchronization analysis.
The algorithm is versatile and can be integrated with various decomposition strategies.
