A wavelet-enhanced collaborative activation method for multi-target temporal modulation in FES

ActiveCN119905203BSagittal planeElectro stimulation
This invention discloses a wavelet-enhanced co-activation method for multi-target temporal modulation of functional electrical stimulation (FES), relating to the field of biomedical engineering technology. The model constructs a time-frequency energy salient feature matrix by analyzing multi-channel surface electromyography (SEMG) signals using an overlapping sliding window combined with energy proportions. Simultaneously, it constructs an intermuscular co-activation matrix within the multi-channel SEMG sliding window. Each single-channel time-frequency energy salient feature matrix and the multi-channel intermuscular co-activation matrix are then combined to form a multi-channel high-dimensional matrix. This high-dimensional matrix is ​​then dimensionality-reduced to a multi-channel, multi-dimensional time-frequency energy-intermuscular co-activation matrix. An adaptive threshold logic combination rule is used to filter muscle activation temporal vectors, and finally, the activation temporal sequence is applied to FES experiments. This invention, by analyzing multi-channel SEMG signals and multi-target muscle co-activation characteristics, accurately predicts hand movements in the sagittal plane and dynamically adjusts FES parameters, achieving precise control over muscle activity phases.
