Surface Electromyography based Wrong Posture Muscle Detector

Posture is the way a person holds their body so that their muscles aren’t overworked as they move. Several health problems can result from poor body posture. Back discomfort and weariness are just two symptoms of poor posture that might arise and interfere with our everyday activities. A gadget is increasingly needed because the majority of people nowadays have back pain, injuries, neck pain, shoulder difficulties, etc. Surface electromyography (sEMG), a noninvasive method for measuring muscle fatigue, is frequently utilized in research on occupational and rehabilitation as well as athletics. Such signals are complex, multicomponent, highly moving, and exhibit substantial inter-subject fluctuation, even more so during spontaneous contractions. In light of this, period-frequency driven machine learning techniques can facilitate the creation of computerized systems for this data. Approaches: This study suggests an analysis based on high-resolution time-frequency techniques, such as the Stockwell transform (S-transform), B-distribution (BD), and extended modified B-distribution (EMBD), to distinguish between non-fatigue and fatigue circumstances for dynamic muscle. Preprocessing, BD, and EMBD are applied to the non-fatigue and fatigue phases of sEMG signals obtained from the biceps brachii of 52 healthy participants. Each approach extracts twelve features, and the most important features are chosen via genetic algorithm (GA) and binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO). Five machine learning techniques, including rotation forests, random forests, and SVMs with polynomial and radial basis kernels, are employed for the classification. Because sign languages (SLs) are so structured, they make a good learning environment for learning more abstract concepts about hand location, shape, and motion. The detection and recognition of static gestures, or hand posture and shape, is essential in SLs and in the field of motion trajectory it has a significant impact. Three methods—3D hand modelling, appearance-based techniques, and hand shape analysis—can be used to do vision-based hand shape identification.
