Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.8K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers01:48

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

60.2K
Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.
Slow-Twitch Muscle Fibers
Slow oxidative, muscle fibers appear red due to large numbers of capillaries and high levels of...

Functional Classification of Joints

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

17.1K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Technology
    • Prosthetics and Orthotics

    Background:

    • Artificial arms for shoulder disarticulation require complex control systems.
    • Surface electromyography (sEMG) pattern recognition offers a promising approach for intention detection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and investigate an sEMG-based intention detection system for controlling prosthetic shoulder joints.
    • To evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed system.

    Main Methods:

    • Recorded sEMG signals from eight trunk muscles in eight subjects across nine shoulder positions.
    • Extracted four features (sample entropy, cepstral coefficients, root mean square, waveform length) and used linear discriminant analysis for classification.
    • Assessed classification accuracy and the impact of reducing features and positions.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a classification accuracy of 92.1% for nine shoulder positions.
    • Improved accuracy to 97.9% when reducing to five positions.
    • Neglecting the two least informative channels reduced accuracy by only 4.08%, indicating computational efficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed sEMG pattern recognition system effectively detects intentions for prosthetic shoulder joint control.
    • The system demonstrates high accuracy and potential for computational optimization, enhancing usability for amputees.
