Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of neuroscience and rehabilitation medicine, the application of neuromodulation technology driven by electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in the rehabilitation of motor dysfunction has attracted increasing attention. In recent years, brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has advanced rapidly, enabling real-time acquisition and intelligent decoding of EEG signals, providing a data foundation for motor intention recognition and neuromuscular modulation. Meanwhile, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMS), as an effective means of muscle function recovery, has been widely used in the rehabilitation training of patients with hemiplegia, paraplegia, and muscular atrophy. Current research focuses on how to deeply integrate EEG intention recognition with individualized electrical stimulation control to form a closed-loop, adaptive intelligent rehabilitation control strategy, thereby improving the accuracy and effectiveness of rehabilitation training.

[0003] Currently, existing methods for EEG intention recognition and neuromuscular electrical stimulation control still have many shortcomings. First, existing technologies mostly employ simple feature extraction and classification algorithms, lacking sufficient exploration of the dynamic temporal characteristics and nonlinear relationships in EEG signals. This limits the accuracy of intention recognition and makes it difficult to meet the real-time and stability requirements of complex rehabilitation scenarios. Second, most existing neuromuscular electrical stimulation strategies rely on preset parameters or fixed mapping relationships, lacking a deep linkage mechanism between the user's current intention confidence and electromyographic state. This makes it impossible to dynamically optimize stimulation parameters according to individual physiological states, easily leading to understimulation or overstimulation. Furthermore, existing systems mostly adopt open-loop or semi-open-loop control architectures, lacking real-time electromyographic feedback closed-loop optimization, making it difficult to achieve individualized adaptive control of the electrical stimulation process.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-2 As an embodiment of the present invention, a neuromuscular electrical stimulation rehabilitation control method based on EEG intention recognition is provided, comprising:

[0024] S1: Through a multi-channel EEG acquisition device, the EEG signal data of the user during the rehabilitation training process is collected in real time. The EEG signal data is processed by bandpass filtering, artifact removal and adaptive noise suppression, and the purified EEG signal data stream is output.

[0025] Furthermore, by configuring a multi-channel EEG acquisition device, the EEG activity signals of users in rehabilitation training scenarios can be collected in real time. It is preferable to use a high sampling rate (not less than 512 Hz) and multi-channel (not less than 16 channels) EEG acquisition system, covering key brain regions related to motor intentions such as the prefrontal cortex, central area, and parietal lobe.

[0026] Raw EEG signals collected The signal suffers from motion artifacts, power frequency interference, and physiological noise, thus requiring multi-stage preprocessing. First, a bandpass filter (typically with a passband range of 0.5 Hz to 45 Hz) is used to clean the frequency domain of the signal, removing low-frequency drift and high-frequency noise.

[0027] Subsequently, the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithm was applied to remove artifacts from the signal, separating and removing non-brain-derived components such as electrooculography (EOG) and electromyography (EMG).

[0028] Based on this, an adaptive noise suppression algorithm (such as a transform domain adaptive filter) is used to suppress the remaining noise in real time, and finally the purified EEG signal is output. .

[0029] To further enhance feature availability, Normalization and segmented windowing are performed, using a sliding window mechanism (window width...). Sliding step size The continuous signal is sliced ​​to provide a high-quality and stable data input source for subsequent feature extraction and intent discrimination models.

[0030] S2: Extract features from the purified EEG signal data stream, output a motion intention feature vector, construct an EEG intention discrimination model to dynamically identify the user's current motion intention category, and output the corresponding intention signal and confidence level.

[0031] Furthermore, using the purified EEG signal data, time-frequency domain analysis methods are employed for feature extraction, with wavelet packet decomposition and power spectral density methods being preferred for extracting multidimensional EEG intention feature vectors. Based on this, an EEG intention discrimination model is constructed using the extracted EEG features. A preferred discrimination mathematical model is designed based on nested kernel mapping and a temporal dynamic integral structure, with a discrimination score of [missing information]. Represented as:

[0032]

[0033] in, For a moment For category The calculated motion intent discrimination score, For the dimension of EEG feature vectors, For the first The coefficients of each characteristic, For a moment The extracted first Each EEG characteristic value is expressed in energy density. For the first The dynamic adjustment function corresponding to each feature The characteristic scaling factor is... To normalize the adjustment parameter, For the first The inhibitory factor for each feature is a positive real number. Indicates at time , No. EEG feature values ​​corresponding to each channel (or dimension).

[0034] like , indicating category The intent to discern is very strong; if It is in a critical discrimination state; if If so, it will not be classified as a category at present. .

[0035] It should be noted that the trained EEG intention classification model distinguishes the following four types of motor intention charts, as shown in Table 1.

[0036] Table 1. Sports Intent Chart

[0037]

[0038] The threshold should be determined based on a large number of EEG training samples to identify scores. The distribution is used to determine this. A common practice is to determine the mean score based on the positive examples in the training set. and standard deviation Set as:

[0039]

[0040] in It is a regulatory factor, often taken as This ensures that the judgment has a certain tolerance and avoids overfitting.

[0041] Finally, output After: If If so, it is classified as a category. The system can be configured according to each time interval. Calculate separately And compare their respective thresholds. Finally, the category that meets the conditions and has the highest score is selected as the judgment result.

[0042] During the rehabilitation training process, the system will use the current moment... Collected EEG feature vectors The input is used to construct the EEG intention discrimination model, and the values ​​of each category are dynamically calculated. Discrimination score The discrimination rule is set as follows: if If so, it is currently classified as a motion intention category. If multiple categories meet the criteria, then select the one that best meets the criteria. The largest category is used as the final judgment result.

[0043] The final output motion intention category signal The corresponding confidence information will serve as an important input for the generation and optimization of neuromuscular electrical stimulation parameters, driving the subsequent rehabilitation training control process.

[0044] S3: Based on the identified intention signal, confidence level, and current electromyographic state, the neuromuscular electrical stimulation parameter set is output using the neuromuscular electrical stimulation parameter optimization model and sent to the neuromuscular electrical stimulation device to control the target muscle group for electrical stimulation.

[0045] Furthermore, based on the real-time identified intent signals and confidence levels, combined with the currently collected electromyographic data, a neuromuscular electrical stimulation parameter optimization model is employed;

[0046]

[0047] in, For a moment The amplitude of the electrical stimulation current, The frequency of electrical stimulation. For electrical stimulation pulse width, The total dimension of the input features. For the first The weight of the dimensional feature on the amplitude adjustment, For the first Dimensional input feature values, select ,in Assess the confidence level of the current intent category. For the first Real-time electromyographic signals of the channel, It is a dynamic activation function. As a normalization adjustment factor, The suppression coefficient, The scaling factor is the reference frequency. To optimize the integration window width for frequency, Indicates dynamic feedback weights. To account for the error between the expected and actual electromyography (EMG) values, The angle representing the rate of change of electromyography. This is the pulse width modulation gain coefficient. Indicates composite feature input, For pulse width mapping coefficients, As the pulse width normalization regulator, Indicates at time , No. The fused signal value of each input feature is typically the product of the intention confidence and the current electromyographic signal.

[0048] The range is Typical example This corresponds to stimuli ranging from low to high intensity. The range is Typical example Low-frequency stimulation is used for relaxation, while high-frequency stimulation is used for contraction; The range is Typical example The wider the pulse width, the stronger the stimulation depth.

[0049] This optimization model integrates intent category, intent confidence, and electromyographic state. Through a nonlinear mapping function, integral feedback, and normalization adjustment mechanism, it dynamically adjusts electrical stimulation parameters to ensure that the output parameters match the user's current movement intent and physiological state in real time. The optimization model supports adaptive parameter adjustment, dynamically optimizing the electrical stimulation control strategy based on individual user differences and real-time state changes. The final generated electrical stimulation parameter set is sent to the neuromuscular electrical stimulation device in real time via an interface, driving the target muscle group to produce a movement output highly matched to the user's intent.

[0050] It should be noted that during the execution of neuromuscular electrical stimulation, electromyographic response feedback data is collected in real time, including the dynamic change trend of electromyographic signals of the target muscle group after stimulation response, as well as the difference information between the output and the expected motor intention.

[0051] The collected feedback data is input into the neuromuscular electrical stimulation parameter optimization model. Through a dynamic adaptive adjustment mechanism, the feature weights, normalization adjustment factors, and feedback gain coefficients in the model are updated in real time, thereby achieving online optimization and adaptive learning of the model parameters.

[0052] Through closed-loop feedback optimization, the system can continuously optimize the output of electrical stimulation parameters according to changes in the user's current state, improve the accuracy, stability and individualized adaptability of stimulation control, further enhance the effect of rehabilitation training, reduce the risk of stimulation side effects, and promote the intelligence and efficiency of the neuromuscular function recovery process.

[0053] Example 2, one embodiment of the present invention, provides a neuromuscular electrical stimulation rehabilitation control method based on EEG intention recognition. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.

[0054] First, an experiment was conducted based on a "closed-loop rehabilitation system for neuromuscular electrical stimulation driven by EEG intention recognition" to verify the effectiveness and optimization of the invented method in rehabilitation training. Six patients with upper limb motor dysfunction, aged 35 to 55 years, were selected as experimental subjects. All were in the rehabilitation training stage and possessed the ability to express voluntary motor intentions. The experimental equipment included a 16-channel EEG acquisition system (sampling rate of 512 Hz), neuromuscular electrical stimulation devices, a surface electromyography (EMG) acquisition system, and a customized rehabilitation training platform.

[0055] During the experimental preparation phase, each subject was first fitted with an EEG acquisition cap, using a 16-channel layout covering the prefrontal, central, and parietal lobes, with a focus on acquiring EEG signals related to upper limb motor intentions. During EEG acquisition, real-time bandpass filtering (0.5–45 Hz) was performed, and independent component analysis (ICA) was used to remove artifacts from electrooculography (EOG) and electromyography (EMG). Further adaptive filtering in the transform domain was then applied to suppress residual noise, resulting in a purified EEG signal stream.

[0056] Subsequently, the purified EEG signals were sliced ​​using a sliding window mechanism (window width 1 second, step size 0.2 seconds) and input into the feature extraction module. In the feature extraction stage, wavelet packet decomposition and power spectral density analysis were used to extract EEG feature vectors, which were then input into a trained EEG intention discrimination model based on nested kernel mapping and temporal dynamic integration. The model outputs four categories of motor intentions (clenched fist, flexed elbow, raised arm, and rest) and their corresponding confidence scores in real time, serving as input to the neuromuscular electrical stimulation parameter optimization model.

[0057] During the electrical stimulation optimization phase, the model integrates the intent category, confidence level, and current electromyographic state to dynamically generate the electrical stimulation current amplitude A(t), frequency f(t), and pulse width d(t), which then drives the neuromuscular electrical stimulation device in real time via an interface. The target muscle groups for electrical stimulation are the flexor muscles of the affected forearm and the biceps brachii muscle group. The stimulation frequency range is 10-100 Hz, the current amplitude is 5-100 Hz, the current amplitude is 580 mA, and the pulse width is 50-400 μs.

[0058] Simultaneously, electromyographic response data of the target muscle group is collected in real time and input into the optimization model for online adjustment, achieving closed-loop adaptive control. The experiment was designed for continuous training for 30 minutes, during which subjects were guided to actively attempt three types of movement intentions multiple times. The system responded in real time, adjusting the stimulation parameters to dynamically drive muscle movement.

[0059] Table 2 Experimental Data

[0060]

[0061] As shown in Table 2, the "Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Rehabilitation Control Method Based on EEG Intent Recognition" described in this invention demonstrated significant advantages in its application to six experimental subjects. Firstly, the accuracy rate of intent category discrimination was generally above 88%, reaching a maximum of 93%, indicating that the EEG intent discrimination model possesses excellent dynamic recognition capabilities. Compared to traditional methods based on linear discrimination or fixed thresholds, it significantly improves the accuracy and real-time performance of intent recognition, ensuring that the electrical stimulation control process can more accurately match the user's intent.

[0062] Secondly, the mean confidence score remained stable above 0.80, demonstrating the model's good adaptability to different subjects in actual rehabilitation training. The confidence score output provided a stable basis for subsequent optimization of stimulation parameters, supporting real-time dynamic parameter adjustment. Regarding electrical stimulation parameters, the optimized model dynamically adjusted the current amplitude, frequency, and pulse width according to the individual subject's condition. Throughout the training process, the electrical stimulation parameters remained stably distributed within a safe and effective range, without any abnormally high or low values, ensuring the individualized adaptability and safety of the electrical stimulation.

[0063] More importantly, the average improvement rate of electromyographic response was approximately 34%, compared to traditional methods with fixed stimulation parameters (which typically show an improvement rate in the 20%–25% range), demonstrating the significant advantage of the closed-loop optimization mechanism in dynamically matching the user's physiological state. Subjective comfort scores were generally above 4 points, further validating the method's good adaptability in terms of user experience, which helps improve adherence and active participation in rehabilitation training.

[0064] In summary, the results of the embodiments fully demonstrate that the present invention is superior to the prior art in terms of EEG intention discrimination accuracy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation parameter optimization capability, closed-loop feedback effect, and user experience. It reflects the innovation and novelty of the technical solution in dynamic adaptive control and individualized rehabilitation training, and has good potential for clinical application and promotion.
