Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Signal Processing
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Surface electromyography (sEMG) is crucial for noninvasive muscle fatigue research in sports science and rehabilitation.
  • sEMG signals are complex, nonstationary, and vary significantly between individuals, especially during dynamic movements.
  • Advanced signal processing and machine learning are needed for automated analysis of these dynamic sEMG signals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate high-resolution time-frequency methods for differentiating muscle non-fatigue and fatigue states.
  • To identify prominent features from sEMG signals using genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization.
  • To assess the performance of various machine learning algorithms in classifying dynamic muscle fatigue.

Main Methods:

  • Applied Stockwell transform (S-transform), B-distribution (BD), and extended modified B-distribution (EMBD) to analyze sEMG data from 52 healthy volunteers.
  • Extracted twelve features per method and selected prominent ones using genetic algorithm (GA) and binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO).
  • Classified muscle states using naïve Bayes, support vector machine (SVM) with polynomial and radial basis kernels, random forest, and rotation forests.

Main Results:

  • All proposed time-frequency distributions effectively captured the nonstationary characteristics of sEMG signals.
  • Statistically significant differences were observed in most features between fatigued and non-fatigued muscle states.
  • Feature reduction of up to 66% was achieved using GA and BPSO for EMBD and BD, respectively.
  • The combination of EMBD with a polynomial kernel SVM achieved the highest classification accuracy of 91% using GA-selected features.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed time-frequency methods successfully handle nonstationary and multicomponent variations in sEMG signals during dynamic contractions.
  • The EMBD-polynomial kernel SVM approach demonstrates significant potential for accurate dynamic muscle fatigue detection.
