Abstract

In this work, we present a knee rehabilitation system focusing on the processing of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals measured from the vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus medialis (VM) muscles of rehabilitation participants. A two-channel electromyography (EMG) device and the NI-myRIO embedded device are used to collect real-time sEMG signals in accordance with pre-designed rehabilitation programs. The novelty and contribution of this work is that we develop an sEMG processing function where real-time sEMG data are automatically processed and sEMG results of both VL and VM in terms of root mean square value (RMS), different RMS levels of VL and VM, and maximum RMS for each round of knee movements are provided. The results here indicate how well the rehabilitation users can move their knees during rehabilitation, referring to knee and muscle performances. Experimental results from healthy participants show that we can automatically and efficiently collect and monitor rehabilitation results, allowing rehabilitation participants to know how their knees performed during testing and medical experts to evaluate and design treatment.

Abstract

This work introduces a statistical analysis of knee range of motion (ROM) and surface electromyography (EMG) data gathered from a knee extension rehabilitation device. Real-time ROM and EMG signals of rehabilitation users are measured using a single angle sensor and a two-channel EMG device (for the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis muscles). These signals are collected by the NI-myRIO embedded device in accordance with the designed rehabilitation program. The main contribution and novelty of this study is that real-time signals are automatically processed and transformed into statistical data for use by users and medical experts. A solution for extracting raw signals is proposed, in which several statistical functions such as range, mean, standard deviation, skewness, percentiles, interquartile range, and total knee holding times above the threshold level, are implemented and applied. The proposed solution is tested using data acquired from healthy people, which includes gender, age, body size, knee side, exercise behavior, and surgical experience. Results indicated that real-time signals and related statistical data on the knee’s performance can be efficiently monitored. With this solution, rehabilitation users can practice and learn about their knee performance, while medical experts can evaluate the data and design the best rehabilitation program for users.
