Several features of the surface electromyography (sEMG) signal are related to muscle activity and fatigue. However, time-evolution these non-stationary vary between subjects. The aim this study is investigate use adaptive algorithms forecast sEMG feature trunk muscles.Shallow models a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) were used simultaneously learn 5 common in real-time provide tailored predictions. This was investigated for: up 25 second horizon; for 14 different muscles trunk; across...

Low Back Pain (LBP) affects the vast majority of population at some point in their lives. People with LBP show altered trunk muscle activity and enhanced fatigability muscles is associated development future risk LBP. Therefore, a system that can forecast detect fatigue help subjects, practitioners physiotherapists diagnosis, monitoring recovery In this paper, we present novel approach order to determine whether subjects are fatigued, or transitioning fatigue, 25 seconds ahead time using...

This paper presents a 4 channel ASIC for sEMG sensing with in-built muscle fatigue and activity feature extraction. Each filters conditions the electrode signal in parallel, while extracting key features Low Back Pain (LBP) monitoring forecasting - Zero Crossing rate Root Mean Square through Envelope. The channels are integrated Transimpedance Amplifier, an 10-Bit ADC Digital Control Unit to digitise enable transmission of extracted features. Fabricated TSMC 180nm, these present compact form...

Abstract Aim Abdominal cavity access accounts for 50% of complications during laparoscopic surgery. Different safety maneuvers have been used to try diminish these. Our study aims establish the usefulness Palmer's test in correct positioning Veress needle and reduction maneuvers, when addition determination intraabdominal pressure. Methods Prospective observational analytic multi‐centered cohort with 370 patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopy between July 2014 November 2019, comparing...
