Discrimination of Myopathy, Neuropathy and Healthy EMG Signals

Feature Extraction of EMG Signals in Time and Frequency Domain for Myopathy, Neuropathy and Healthy Muscle

Neuromuscular actions of the brain generate electrical signals for muscles are Electromyograpic signals (EMG). It is dependent on the structure, composition of muscle, a peripheral nervous system and method of detection. Due to the nonstationary and the random nature of the EMG signal, it is difficult to differentiate different muscle conditions (neuropathy, myopathy and normal) only with EMG. ...

Classification and Diagnosis of Myopathy from EMG Signals*

We present a methodology to predict the presence of myopathy (muscle disease) from intramuscular electromyography (EMG) signals. By evaluating the shape and frequency of electrical action potentials produced by muscular fibers and captured in EMG measurements, a physician can often detect both the presence and the severity of such disorders. However, EMG measurements can vary significantly acro...

Combined Myopathy and Neuropathy

Classification of Normal and Myopathy EMG Signals using BP Neural Network

Electromyography (EMG) signal is the muscle electrical activity. Electromyography is a technique for detecting and recording the electrical potential generated by muscle cells. This EMG signals are used in medical professionals to determine specific disorders. This paper basically deals with the analysis of different electromyography signals (NOR & MYO). In this paper, new method for classifica...

Colchicine-induced myopathy and neuropathy.

Myopathy and neuropathy that have been induced by colchicine have been described only occasionally, although colchicine is a widely used drug. We describe a case of colchicine-induced myopathy and neuropathy in an 84-year-old woman who had renal impairment. Results from a muscle biopsy showed characteristic vacuolar myopathy and autophagic vacuoles. The cessation of medication resulted in a mar...
