The Research of the Rehabilitative Exercises System of Residual Limbs Based on EMG Sensor

Abstract:

According to the characteristic of amputees of lower limbs, the scheme of research project apply the mode of seat-form training for amputees of below knee, and carry on exercise function recover training. Establish kinematics model and analyses electromyographic signal (EMG) of quadriceps when volunteers do rehabilitative exercises, and study pattern recognition and classification for the rehabilitative exercises system of lower residual limbs. Use threshold control, and make use of power spectrum coefficient of EMG acquire character value, establish the relation of the EMG character value and lower limbs in rehabilitative exercises, definite a method which can recognize rehabilitative exercises.
