Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Surface electromyogram (sEMG) decomposition allows decoding movements from individual motor unit (MU) activities, representing neural drives.
  • Interpreting the functional contribution of individual MUs to macroscopic movements remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To decode finger movement patterns by establishing a relationship between individual MU activities and specific movements.
  • To address the challenge of MU co-activation and shared contributions across multiple movement patterns.

Main Methods:

  • High-density sEMG (HD-sEMG) data were recorded from finger extensor muscles during 10 distinct finger movements in 10 subjects.
  • Progressive FastICA peel-off algorithm decomposed HD-sEMG into MU firing sequences and action potential waveforms.
  • Convolutional neural networks and a fuzzy weighted decision strategy classified MUs and recognized movement patterns based on their contributions.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method achieved an average accuracy of approximately 100% in decoding finger movement patterns.
  • The approach successfully characterized individual MU contributions to multiple movements, accounting for muscle co-activation.
  • The method significantly outperformed conventional sEMG-based classification techniques (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • A novel method effectively decodes finger movements by linking individual MU activity to macroscopic motor patterns.
  • This technique offers a promising approach for applications in human-machine interaction and precise motor control.
  • Understanding individual MU function is crucial for advanced myoelectric control systems.
