A parallel classification strategy to simultaneous control elbow, wrist, and hand movements.

Background: In the field of myoelectric control systems, pattern recognition (PR) algorithms have become always more interesting for predicting complex electromyography patterns involving movements with more than 2 Degrees of Freedom (DoFs). The majority of classification strategies, used for the pr...

      ab: Background: In the field of myoelectric control systems, pattern recognition (PR) algorithms have become always more interesting for predicting complex electromyography patterns involving movements with more than 2 Degrees of Freedom (DoFs). The majority of classification strategies, used for the prosthetic control, are based on single, hierarchical and parallel linear discriminant analysis (LDA) classifiers able to discriminate up to 19 wrist/hand gestures (in the 3-DoFs case), considering both combined and discrete motions. However, these strategies were introduced to simultaneously classify only 2 DoFs and their use is limited by the lack of online performance measures. This study introduces a novel classification strategy based on the Logistic Regression (LR) algorithm with regularization parameter to provide simultaneous classification of 3 DoFs motion classes.Methods: The parallel PR-based strategy was tested on 15 healthy subjects, by using only six surface EMG sensors. Twenty-seven discrete and complex elbow, hand and wrist motions were classified by keeping the number of electromyographic (EMG) electrodes to a bare minimum and the classification error rate under 10 %. To this purpose, the parallel classification strategy was implemented by using three classifiers one for each DoF: the "Elbow classifier", the "Wrist classifier", and the "Hand classifier" provided the simultaneous control of the elbow, hand, and wrist joints, respectively.Results: Both the offline and real-time performance metrics were evaluated and compared with the LDA parallel classification results. The real-time recognition results were statistically better with the LR classifier with respect to the LDA classifier, for all motion classes (elbow, hand and wrist).Conclusions: In this paper, a novel parallel PR-based strategy was proposed for classifying up to 3 DoFs: three joint classifiers were employed simultaneously for classifying 27 motion classes related to the elbow, wrist, and hand and promising results were obtained.
