Abstract :
Surface EMG (sEMG) with correlation exists between the active and functional status of the muscle can be a very good reaction to neuromuscular activity. Studies concerning this has important significance to the development of research on rehabilitation robot. This paper aims to study the action pattern recognition technology. We can obtain the characteristic value of lower limb EMG signal and pattern recognition with the time and the level of excitement with the muscles corresponding to the lower extremity operation mode. The first step to deal with the collected muscles sEMG is to conduct a denoising pretreatment, and then use the Power spectral ratio method to obtain a characteristic value of each muscle. Finally, make a BP neural network to the obtained features so that we can identify corresponding relationship between the sEMG and the lower extremity operation mode. It was found that the excitement of the time and the level of excitement are different for each muscle sEMG. sEMG have similar activity in the same mode, and a clear distinction in the different operating modes. In a different operation mode, conduct a pattern recognition to the characteristic value of the surface EMG, and the operating mode thereof can be discriminated.
