Functional evaluation of triceps surae during heel rise test: from EMG frequency analysis to machine learning approach.
Soleus muscle flap as coverage tissue is a possible surgical solution adopted to cover the wounds due to open fractures. Despite this procedure presents many clinical advantages, relatively poor information is available about the loss of functionality of triceps surae of the treated leg. In this stu...

Despite this procedure presents many clinical advantages, relatively poor information is available about the loss of functionality of triceps surae of the treated leg. In this study, a group of patients who underwent a soleus muscle flap surgical procedure has been analyzed through the heel rise test (HRT), in order to explore the triceps surae residual functionalities. A frequency band analysis was performed in order to assess whether the residual heads of triceps surae exhibit different characteristics with respect to both the non-treated lower limb and an age-matched control group. Then, an in-depth analysis based on a machine learning approach was proposed for discriminating between groups by generalizing across new unseen subjects. Experimental results showed the reliability of the proposed analyses for discriminating between-group at a specific time epoch and the high interpretability of the proposed machine learning algorithm allowed the temporal localization of the most discriminative frequency bands. Findings of this study highlighted that significant differences can be recognized in the myoelectric spectral characteristics between the treated and contralateral leg in patients who underwent soleus flap surgery. These experimental results may support the clinical decision-making for assessing triceps surae performance and for supporting the choice of treatment in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Graphical Abstract The Graphical abstract presents the scope of the proposed analysis of myoelectric signals of soleus and gastrocnemius muscles of patiens groups during Hell Rise Test, highlighting the applied methods and the obtained results. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
