      Analysis of neuromuscular disorders using statistical and entropy metrics on surface EMG 

      Istenic, R.; Kaplanis, P. A.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Zazula, D. (2008)
      This paper introduces the surface electromyogram (EMG) classification system based on statistical and entropy metrics. The system is intended for diagnostic use and enables classification of examined subject as normal, ...

      Bispectral analysis of surface EMG 

      Kaplanis, P. A.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Hadjileontiadis, L. J.; Panas, S. M. (IEEE, 2000)
      The objective of this ongoing study is to investigate whether or not Bispectral analysis (BS), a particular form of higher order spectra (HOS), may be utilized for analyzing the surface electromyographic signal (SEMG). The ...

      Classification of surface electromyographic signals using AM-FM features 

      Christodoulou, Christodoulos I.; Kaplanis, P. A.; Murray, V.; Pattichis, Marios S.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (2009)
      The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of AM-FM features extracted from surface electro myographic (SEMG) signals for the assessment of neuromuscular disorders at different force levels. SEMG signals ...

      Influence of isometric voluntary contraction on time and frequency domain parameters of surface EMG 

      Kaplanis, P. A.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Roberts, C. V. (2002)
      The main objective of this paper was to investigate the effect of increase of isometric voluntary contraction (IVC) on surface EMG recorded from the Biceps Brachii (BB) muscle. Five different force levels (FL) were used: ...

      Multiscale entropy-based approach to automated surface EMG classification of neuromuscular disorders 

      Istenič, R.; Kaplanis, P. A.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Zazula, D. (2010)
      We introduce a novel method for an automatic classification of subjects to those with or without neuromuscular disorders. This method is based on multiscale entropy of recorded surface electromyograms (sEMGs) and support ...

      Surface EMG analysis on normal subjects based on isometric voluntary contraction 

      Kaplanis, P. A.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Hadjileontiadis, L. J.; Roberts, V. C. (2009)
      The objective of this study was to compute reference SEMG values for normal subjects of 13 parameters extracted in the time, frequency and bispectrum domain, from the Biceps Brachii (BB) muscle generated under isometric ...
