In this paper, the origin of multifractality of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals during dynamic contraction in nonfatigue and fatigue conditions was analyzed and the results indicated that sEMG signals exhibit multifractal behavior.Abstract:
The aim of this study is analyze the origin of multifractality of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals during dynamic contraction in nonfatigue and fatigue conditions. sEMG signals are recorded from triceps brachii muscles of twenty two normal healthy subjects. The signals are divided into six equal segments on time scale for normalization. The first and sixth segments are considered as nonfatigue and fatigue condition respectively. The source of multifractality can be due to correlation and probability distribution. The original sEMG series are transformed into shuffled and surrogate series. These three series namely, original, shuffled and surrogate series in nonfatigue and fatigue conditions are subjected to multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA) and features are extracted. The results indicate that sEMG signals exhibit multifractal behavior. Further investigation revealed that origin of multifractality is primarily due to correlation. The origin of multifractality due to correlation is quantified as 80% in nonfatigue and 86% in fatigue conditions. This method of multifractal analysis may be useful for analyzing progressive changes in muscle contraction in varied neuromuscular studies.read more

Analyzing the influence of curl speed in fatiguing biceps brachii muscles using sEMG signals and multifractal detrended moving average algorithm
TL;DR: Results show that multifractal features are able to differentiate sEMG signals in fatiguing conditions and the multifractality increased with faster curls as compared with slower curl speed by 12%.
