    This study introduces novel temporal-spatial descriptors (TSDs) for enhanced electromyogram (EMG) signal analysis. These TSDs improve myoelectric control accuracy for powered prostheses by better representing muscular activity.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Accurate muscular activity descriptors are crucial for myoelectric control of prostheses.
    • Existing methods face challenges in extracting comprehensive information from electromyogram (EMG) signals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new feature extraction framework for enhanced EMG signal representation.
    • To improve the information extracted from individual and combined EMG channels for better prosthetic control.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized time-domain descriptors (TDDs) to estimate EMG signal power spectrum characteristics efficiently.
    • Developed temporal-spatial descriptors (TSDs) by analyzing temporal evolution within channels and spatial coherence between channels.
    • Validated TSDs on sparse and high-density (HD) EMG datasets from intact-limbed and amputee subjects performing hand/finger movements.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved significant reductions in classification error rates compared to other methods, with an average improvement of at least 8%.
    • Demonstrated strong performance with HD-EMG, yielding average classification errors below 5% using 50 ms window lengths.
    • The TDD approach preserved computational power while enhancing spectral feature construction.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed TSDs offer a significant advancement in EMG-based myoelectric control.
    • This framework provides a more informative representation of muscular activity, leading to improved prosthetic functionality.
    • The method is effective for both sparse and HD-EMG applications, showing high accuracy and efficiency.
