Description

Neck muscle fatigue analysis method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to a neck muscle fatigue analysis method and system.
Background
Nowadays, the neck bending probability of people in daily life is greatly increased. When the neck is bent, the gravity center of the skull moves forwards, so that the contraction force of neck muscles and the pressure born by the vertebral body are increased by times, and meanwhile, the tensile stress of neck extensors is also obviously increased. Therefore, if the neck is in a poor posture of excessive forward flexion for a long time, the neck muscles will be in a tense state for a long time, so that the neck muscles are overloaded, and muscle strain, muscle spasm and muscle tension decline appear for a long time, and finally the dynamic and static balance of the neck is disordered. Once the dynamic and static balance of the cervical vertebra is damaged and the mechanical property is reduced, the degeneration of the cervical vertebra and cervical muscle can be accelerated, and the occurrence and the development of cervical spondylosis can be caused. Relevant investigation shows that 5000 million cervical spondylosis patients in China are treated, about 100 million new cervical spondylosis patients are newly added every year, and the cervical spondylosis is gradually one of main diseases threatening the health of the population in China. Investigations also indicate that about 70% of people suffer from cervical spondylosis in their lifetime. A series of studies at home and abroad prove that the muscle strength of the neck of a patient with the cervical spondylosis is obviously reduced compared with that of a normal person, the activity of the cervical vertebra is obviously lower than that of the normal person, and meanwhile, muscles around the cervical vertebra are easier to fatigue compared with the normal person. Various movements of the neck are mainly related to cervical spine stabilizing muscles, which are groups of muscles distributed in the cervical spine and trunk parts to maintain cervical spine stability and protect the cervical spine, wherein sternocleidomastoid muscle and upper trapezius muscle play a main stabilizing role. Therefore, the fatigue state of cervical vertebra stable muscles can be known timely, and cervical spondylosis prevention can be effectively performed for people with neck fatigue.
An increasing number of basic and clinical medical findings have revealed that muscles gradually enter a state of fatigue during static tension. For muscle analysis, at present, the myoelectric signals are mostly adopted at home and abroad, and are used as a signal source for early research on muscle movement conditions, the myoelectric signals can well display the potential shift change in the human body muscle movement process, and a large number of researches prove that relevant indexes of muscle fatigue and the myoelectric signals have good correlation, and the muscle fatigue evaluation method has good reliability and effectiveness in the aspects of muscle fatigue evaluation of neck, waist, back and four limbs muscle groups.
Electromyographic signal acquisition generally has two methods: needle electrodes and surface electrodes. The former is inserted into the muscle to collect electromyographic signals, and the latter is placed on the skin to acquire surface electromyographic signals. The needle-shaped muscle electrode can collect myoelectric activity of deep muscles, the number of the involved motion units is very small, pertinence is achieved, potential change generated by a single motion unit or a single muscle fiber can be clearly derived, and therefore the function of a certain bundle of muscle fibers in muscles can be researched. However, since the area of the needle electrode test is very small and cannot reflect the functional state of the whole muscle, and the needle electrode is very critical in terms of invasiveness, position, depth and manipulation of the needle insertion, the requirement for the operator is high, and the needle electrode cannot measure the myoelectric signal during the movement, the needle electrode is generally used for clinical diagnosis and some basic research. Compared with the needle electrode for acquiring the electromyographic signals, the surface electrode has a larger detection range and lower spatial resolution due to the acquisition indirectness and non-specificity, the acquired surface electromyographic signals are more easily interfered, and the signal-to-noise ratio is lower. Its signal quality is susceptible to many factors, such as electrode position, skin condition, hair condition, fat thickness, mental state, electromagnetic interference conditions, and so forth. However, measuring electromyographic signals via surface electrodes is non-invasive, does not require the involvement of a physician, and is a preferred method for acquiring electromyographic signals in a non-clinical setting.
In the past, in the research on muscle fatigue, surface electromyographic signals collected by a single muscle are often analyzed, but the signals measured by a single electrode may even originate from a plurality of muscle groups. When the muscle of the human body conducts the electromyographic signals, the equivalent circuit of the muscle is a group of complex volume conductors, and the surface electromyographic signals are easily interfered by a plurality of muscle groups, so that the result has great uncertainty.

Detailed Description

And a, collecting surface electromyographic signals of the testee. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
in the process of statically stretching neck muscles of a tester, surface electromyographic signals of left and right sternocleidomastoid muscles and left and right upper trapezius muscles of the tester are collected.
Further, the method mainly comprises signal acquisition, transmission and reception. Before the surface muscle electrode is placed, the following treatment needs to be carried out on the surface skin of the electrode, which is in contact with the human body: cleaning hair at a corresponding part, cleaning the surface of skin by using 70% alcohol, injecting a conductive coagulation paste into a metal plate surface muscle electrode, fixing the metal plate surface muscle electrode on the cleaned neck skin surface, and fixing the surface muscle electrode by using a PU (polyurethane) membrane; the tester keeps the head-lowering posture in the body forward bending posture, collects the myoelectric signals of the surfaces of the left and right sternocleidomastoid muscles and the left and right upper trapezius muscles of the neck of the human body, filters and amplifies the analog myoelectric signals, and then converts the analog myoelectric signals into digital myoelectric signals through an analog-to-digital converter and transmits the digital myoelectric signals to the main control module.

In the embodiment, a 20-200Hz band-pass filter is adopted to carry out band-pass filtering on the collected surface electromyogram signals, power frequency interference of 50Hz and 150Hz harmonic components are subjected to power frequency denoising, and then a wavelet spatial filtering method is adopted to eliminate in-band noise.
Further, as the frequency band range of the surface electromyogram signal is mainly between 10Hz and 500Hz, and the main energy is concentrated between 20Hz and 200Hz, the acquired surface electromyogram signal is subjected to 20-200Hz band-pass filtering processing. 50Hz power frequency interference generated by the voltage 220v in China has great influence on surface myoelectric signals, and therefore, a notch filter is used for filtering the power frequency signals.

The four-way surface electromyographic signals are separated by using time decorrelation Technology (TDSEP).
And d, performing feature extraction on the surface electromyographic signals after signal separation. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
this embodiment extracts Root Mean Square (RMS) and Integrated myoelectric (IEMG) values in the time domain, Mean Power Frequency (MPF) and Median Frequency (media Frequency, MF) in the Frequency domain of the surface electromyographic signal after the signal separation. The surface electromyogram signal root mean square value represents the overall signal energy level, the integral electromyogram value reflects the change of the signal intensity along with time, and the average power frequency and the median frequency reflect the frequency domain change of the signal.
And e, performing muscle fatigue analysis according to the electromyographic signals after the characteristic extraction.
The characteristics before and after signal separation are calculated by using a windowing method, the window length is set to be 2000 sampling points (the sampling rate is 1000Hz, namely 2-second time window), the step length is set to be one tenth of the window length, and the obtained characteristic curves can not only keep the detail change of the surface electromyogram signals, but also reflect the trend change of the fatigue process. Please refer to fig. 3, wherein (a) is the characteristic curves before separation, and (b) is the characteristic curves after separation.
Further, linear fitting is carried out on each characteristic curve before and after separation, and a linear fitting equation of each characteristic curve is obtained.
Further, the slope of a linear fitting equation of each characteristic curve of the myoelectricity in the fatigue period is compared, and the fatigue state of the neck muscle of the tester is analyzed according to the trend change conditions of the time domain and frequency domain indexes.

Figure BDA0002576208990000081
Figure BDA0002576208990000091
wherein, 1: p >0.05,2: p <0.01

Figure BDA0002576208990000092
wherein, 1: p >0.05,2: p <0.01,3:0.01< p <0.05

It is shown that the trapezius muscle is in tension during the lowering of the head, and fatigue is generated, and the sternocleidomastoid muscle is not obviously fatigued. The time domain and frequency domain index differences before and after the separation of the electromyographic signals of the surfaces of the right sternocleidomastoid muscle and the left sternocleidomastoid muscle are not obvious, after the electromyographic signals of the surfaces of the right trapezius muscle and the left trapezius muscle are separated by a time decorrelation method, the change trends of a root mean square value curve, an integral electromyographic value curve and an average power frequency curve are enhanced remarkably, and the change trend of a median frequency curve is enhanced remarkably. Therefore, the change of the slope of the root mean square value, the integral myoelectric value and the mean power frequency curve linear fitting equation of the surface myoelectric signal after being separated by the time decorrelation method can be used as a more effective fatigue analysis index.
