Abstract:
:The paper describes a method of quantifying Duchenne muscular dystrophy which is examiner independent and uses surface electromyographic signals (EMG). A standardised protocol is proposed. Spectral parameters are first computed from digitised EMG, then a polynomial model is deduced from the evolution of each parameter. A discriminant analysis between healthy and DMD subjects leads to the determination of a discriminant plane and a level of sickness index.

杂志文章abstract::A method for making a current-ratio map to determine the ischaemic area of angina pectoris (AP) patients has been developed. This method uses a current-arrow map calculated using a ORS wave from 64-channel magnetocardiogram (MCG) signals. The current-ratio map can be calculated from the ratio of an exercise-induced cu...
