MOTION DATA PROCESSING METHOD AND MOTION MONITORING SYSTEM
A motion data processing method and a motion monitoring system provided in the present disclosure may process an electromyography (EMG) signal in the frequency domain or time domain to identify an abnormal signal in the EMG signal, such as an abrupt signal, a missing signal, a saturation signal, an oscillation signal, etc. caused by a high-pass filtering algorithm. The motion data processing method and the motion monitoring system may further perform a data sampling operation on the EMG signal through a data sampling algorithm, and predict data corresponding to the time point when the abnormal signal appears based on the sampling data, so as to obtain prediction data, and replace the abnormal signal by using the prediction data to correct the abnormal signal. The motion data processing method and the motion monitoring system may not merely accurately identify the abnormal signal, but further correct the abnormal signal, so that the corrected data may be more in line with an actual motion of a user, thereby improving user experience.
CALIBRATION OF ELECTRODE-TO-MUSCLE MAPPING FOR FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION
A functional electrical stimulation (FES) device includes electrodes arranged to apply functional electrical stimulation to a body part of the user. FES stimulation is performed by: receiving values of a set of user metrics for the user; receiving a target position of the body part represented as values for a set of body part position measurements; determining a user-specific energization pattern for producing the target position based on the received target position and the received values of the set of user metrics for the user; and energizing the electrodes of the FES device in accordance with the determined user-specific energization pattern. The determination may utilize an FES calibration database with records having fields containing: values of the set of user metrics for reference users; energization patterns; and values of the set of body part position metrics for positions assumed by the body part in response to applying the energization patterns.
