Application of data mining techniques on EMG registers of hemiplegic patients

Aguilera, Ana; Subero, Alberto; Mata-Toledo, R

Abstract

Gait analysis provides a very large data volume coming from kinematic, kinetic, electromyographic (EMG) registers and physical examinations. The analysis and treatment of these data is difficult and time consuming. This work applies and explores exhaustively different analysis methods from data mining on these gait data. This study aims to provide a classification system based in gait patterns obtained from EMG records in children with spastic hemiplegia. The methods studied from data mining specifically for the classification task include SVM, neural networks, decision trees, regression logistic models and others. Different techniques of feature extraction and selection have been also employed and combined with classifications methods. The LMT algorithm provides the best result with 97% of instances classified correctly taking into account the indicators for 2 legs. A qualitative and quantitative validation were performed on the data. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
