Background Myoelectric signals offer significant
insights in interpreting the motion intention and
extent of effort involved in performing a
movement, with application in prostheses,
orthosis and exoskeletons. Feature extraction
plays a vital role, and follows two approaches:
EMG and synergy features. More recently,
muscle synergy based features ar...

... 1 shows the phases of the training phase as well

as the online testing phase. EMG signals were
recorded by seven channels and electrodes were
placed on the muscles mainly responsible for
execution of the shoulder and elbow movements
involved, and are as shown in Fig. 2. The five
different motion-classes involved in the experiment
are as shown in Fig. ...

... The term "muscle synergy" refers to a

constitutional unit of operation that adjusts
the activation of multiple muscles. There
have been several attempts to extract
muscle synergies from EMG and use them
as inputs for motion or task classification
(31, 32). In this paper, we focus on the
transition and combination of extracted
muscle synergies. ...
