In this section we will briefly present our experiments.
our experiments on Repeatability
The aim of our experiments was to study repeatability for electromyographic signals in order to show how postures classification changes in relation to different conditions. At first, we studied repeatability during a short period, essentially during a whole day. Secondly we analyzed the repeatability issue during a long term period, i.e 4 days. Our last experiment, but not least, consisted in introducing slight changes on the classification tool configurations.
For this purpose, we used the NinaPro acquisition datasets and experimental materials. Further details on the NinaPro project can be found in [3, 4].
As for tools configuration, we sticked to all the successful sEMG classification methods showed in [1, 2] and in many other researches on this topic, that are widely reported in the following sources:
