Abstract

Detection of Muscle Activity Interval plays a pivotal role in the design and implementation of real-time Myoelectric controlled devices and their applications. This paper presents an algorithm for real-time detection of onset/offset points in the muscles activity by employing adaptive threshold technique on the Correlation Coefficient of Taeger Kaiser Energy Operator using low cost hardware. Performance of the algorithm has also been evaluated through real-time tests carried out under various constrained scenarios and different signal to noise ratios, revealing very promising results with a maximum accuracy of 99.9% using medium or no external forces.
