Abstract
An increasing focus on extending automated surface electromyography (EMG) decomposition algorithms to operate under non-stationary conditions requires rigorous and robust validation. However, relevant benchmarks derived manually from iEMG are laborsome to obtain and this is further exacerbated by the need to consider multiple contraction conditions. This work demonstrates a semi-automatic technique for extracting motor units (MUs) whose activities are present in concurrently recorded high-density surface EMG (HD-sEMG) and intramuscular EMG (iEMG) during isometric contractions. We leverage existing automatic surface decomposition algorithms for initial identification of active MUs. Resulting spike times are then used to identify (trigger) the sources that are concurrently detectable in iEMG. We demonstrate this technique on recordings targeting the extensor carpi radialis brevis in five human subjects. This dataset consists of 117 trials across different force levels and wrist angles, from which the presented method yielded a set of 367 high-confidence decompositions. Thus, our approach effectively alleviates the overhead of manual decomposition as it efficiently produces reliable benchmarks under different conditions.Clinical Relevance - We present an efficient method for obtaining high-quality in-vivo decomposition particularly useful in the verification of new surface decomposition approaches.Description
