Abstract

In this paper, we present a method to classify electromyogram (EMG) signals which are utilized to be control signals for patient-responsive walker-supported system for paraplegics. Patterns of EMG signals for dierent walking motions are classied via adequate filtering, real EMG signal extraction, AR-modeling, and modified self-organizing feature map (MSOFM). More efficient signal processing is done via a data-reducing extraction algorithm. Moreover, MSOFM classifies and determines the classified results are presented for validation.
