Abstract

To investigate the classification performance of combined arm motions only using surface electromyography (EMG) signal, six different feature sets were adopted to match support vector machine (SVM) classifier respectively. Four unilateral transradial amputees participated in multi-channel surface EMG signal collection. The results show that the wavelet features outperforms others with average classification accuracy 98%±2% for intact arm and 89%±6% for amputated arm across all subjects. And the classification performance of intact arm motions was significantly better than that of amputated arm motions.
