Abstract
In this paper, a new estimation model based on least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) is proposed to build up the relationship between Surface electromyogram (sEMG) signal and joint angle of the lower limb. The input of the model is 2 channels of preprocessed sEMG signal. The outputs of the model are joint angles of the hip and the knee. sEMG signal is acquired from 7 motion muscles in treadmill exercise. And two channels of them are selected for dynamic angle estimation for their strong correlation with angle data. Angle estimation model is constructed by 2 independent LS-SVM based regression model with radial basis function (RBF). It is trained using part of the sample sets acquired in 10s exercise duration and test by all data. Experimental result shows proposed method has good performance on joint angles estimation based sEMG. Root mean square error (RMSE) of prediction knee and hip joint angles is 3.02° and 2.09° respectively. It provide new human-machine interface for active rehabilitation training of SCI, stroke or neurological injury patients.
