Background:

Electromyogram (EMG) driven prosthetics face limitations due to reduced electrode space for users with disabilities.
Current EMG decomposition methods often require a high number of channels, increasing cost and complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate an EMG decomposition framework optimized for low-channel environments (fewer than 30 observations).
To improve the cost-effectiveness and applicability of EMG-driven prosthetic devices.

Main Methods:

A novel framework incorporating a peel-off approach, motor unit (MU) spike train and action potential refinement, and a re-subtracting strategy.
Simulated EMG signals were generated for framework evaluation.
Quantitative analysis was performed to assess the impact of individual strategies.

Main Results:

The new algorithm demonstrated a 19.97% average improvement in identified motor units compared to a control algorithm.
The re-subtracting and refining strategies significantly enhanced framework performance in low-channel conditions.
The framework proved effective for EMG decomposition with limited electrode channels.

Conclusions:

The proposed framework is suitable for low-channel EMG decomposition, offering optimization for neural interface design.
This advancement can lead to more affordable and user-adaptive prosthetic solutions.
The study highlights the potential for improved prosthetic functionality and user integration.
