This paper conducts an evaluative study on the rehabilitation of limb motor function by using a microsensor information flow gain algorithm and investigates the surface electromyography (EMG) signals of the upper limb during rehabilitation training. The surface EMG signals contain a large amount of limb movement information. By analysing and processing the surface EMG signals, we can grasp the human muscle movement state and identify the human upper limb movement intention. The EMG signals were processed by the trap and filter combination denoising method and wavelet denoising method, respectively, the signal-to-noise ratio was used to evaluate the noise reduction effect, and finally, the wavelet denoising method with a better noise reduction effect was selected to process all the EMG signals. After the noise is removed, the signal is extracted in the time domain and frequency domain, and the root mean square (RMS), absolute mean, median frequency in the time domain, and average power frequency in the frequency domain are selected and input to the classifier for pattern recognition. The support vector machine is used to classify the myoelectric signals and optimize the parameters in the support vector machine using the grid search method and particle swarm optimization algorithm and classify the test samples using the trained support vector machine. Compared with the classification results of the grid search optimized support vector machine, the optimized vector machine has a 7% higher recognition rate, reaching 85%. The action recognition classification method of myoelectric signals is combined with an upper limb rehabilitation training platform to verify the feasibility of using myoelectric signals for rehabilitation training. After the classifier recognizes the upper limb movements, the upper computer sends movement commands to the controller to make the rehabilitation platform move according to the recognition results, and finally, the movement execution accuracy of the rehabilitation platform reaches 80% on average.

A feature subset discernibility hybrid evaluation method using Fisher score based on joint feature and support vector machine is proposed for the feature selection problem of the upper limb rehabilitation training motion of Brunnstrom 4–5 stage patients. In this method, the joint feature is introduced to evaluate the discernibility between classes due to the joint effect of both candidate and selected features. A feature subset search strategy is used to search a set of candidate feature subsets. The Fisher score based on joint feature method is used to evaluate the candidate feature subsets and the best subset is selected as a new selected feature subset. From these selected subsets such as obtained by the above process, the subset with the best performance of support vector machine classification is finally selected as the optimal feature subset. Experiments were carried out on the upper limb routine rehabilitation training samples of the Brunnstrom 4–5 stage. Compared with both the F-score and the discernibility of feature subset methods, the experimental results show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method which can obtain the feature subsets with higher accuracy and smaller feature dimension.

Abstract Purpose To clarify the feature values of exercise therapy that can differentiate students and expert therapists and use this information as a reference for exercise therapy education. Methods The participants were therapists with 5 or more years of clinical experience and 4th year students at occupational therapist training schools who had completed their clinical practices. The exercise therapy task included Samothrace (code name, SAMO) exercises implemented on the elbow joint based on the elbow flexion angle, angular velocity, and exercise interval recordings. For analyses and student/therapist comparisons, the peak flexion angle, peak velocity, and movement time were calculated using data on elbow angle changes acquired via SAMO. Subsequently, bootstrap data were generated to differentiate between the exercise therapy techniques adopted by therapists and students, and a support vector machine was used to generate four types of data combinations with the peak flexion angle, peak velocity, and movement time values. These data were used to estimate and compare the respective accuracies with the Friedman test. Results The peak flexion angles were significantly smaller in the case of students. Furthermore, the peak velocities were larger, the peak flexion angles were smaller, and the movement times were shorter compared with those of therapists. The combination of peak velocity and peak flexion angle yielded the highest diagnostic accuracies. Conclusion When students and therapists performed upper limb exercise therapy techniques based on the kinematics movement of a robot arm, the movement speeds and joint angles differed. The combination of peak velocity and peak flexion angle was the most effective classifier used for the differentiation of the abilities of students and therapists. The peak velocity and peak flexion angle of the therapist group can be used as a reference for students when they learn upper limb therapeutic exercise techniques.

This paper presents a method that combines Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) with Support Vector Machine (SVM) method in order to identify the fault types of rolling bearing in the gearbox. The proposed method improves the accuracy of fault diagnosis identification after processing the collected vibration signals through wavelet threshold denoising. The global optimization and high computational efficiency of SFLA are applied to the SVM model. Simulation results show that the SFLA-SVM algorithm is effective in fault diagnosis. Compared with SVM and Particle Swarm Optimization SVM (PSO-SVM) algorithms, it is demonstrated that the SFLA-SVM algorithm has the advantages of better global optimization, higher accuracy, and better reliability of diagnosis. Its accuracy is further improved through the integration of the wavelet threshold denoising method.

Existing methods of well-logging interpretation cannot be applied accurately for the exploration and evaluation of carbonate reservoirs because of the fracture development. Based on the fracture density obtained by core analysis in a carbonate reservoir located in the Ordos Basin, in northwest China, three types of fracture density (low fracture density, medium fracture density, and high fracture density) of the target formation were identified. We investigated the effect of fractures on acoustic logging signals in the time and frequency domains by the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) and extracted 11 features in the time domain and nine features in the frequency domain. Then, we reduced the features in the time and frequency domain to three principal components by principal component analysis. Finally, a new prediction model of genetic algorithm-support vector machine method based on HHT of acoustic logging data was reported to predict the fracture density. The results indicate that the fracture density has a greater effect on the attenuation of intrinsic mode function 2 (IMF2) and IMF3 components for three different types of formation by empirical-mode decomposition analysis. The energy of the Stoneley wave and S-wave has higher sensitivity than the P-wave. Compared with the time domain, the distribution in the high-frequency domain has a greater correlation with fracture density by the Hilbert spectrum and marginal spectrum. The correlation coefficients between the fracture density and nine features in the frequency domain ([Formula: see text]) are better than the coefficients with 11 features in the time domain ([Formula: see text]). The core analysis and interpretation of resistivity image logging support the validity and effectiveness of our model. The prediction accuracy using the features in the frequency domain can reach to 82%–90%, which is much higher than using the features in the time domain with accuracy of 52%–59%. The application with more information of original acoustic logging data in our model not only avoid the error in velocity picking but also point the direction for the future prediction.
