Dataset Information

Multi-day dataset of forearm and wrist electromyogram for hand gesture recognition and biometrics.

ABSTRACT: Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals have been used for advanced prosthetics control, hand-gesture recognition (HGR), and more recently as a novel biometric trait. For these sEMG-based applications, the translation from laboratory research setting to real-life scenarios suffers from two major limitations: (1) a small subject pool, and (2) single-session data recordings, both of which prevents acceptable generalization ability. In this longitudinal database, forearm and wrist sEMG data were collected from 43 participants over three different days with long separation (Days 1, 8, and 29) while they performed static hand/wrist gestures. The objective of this dataset is to provide a comprehensive dataset for the development of robust machine learning algorithms of sEMG, for both HGR and biometric applications. We demonstrated the high quality of the current dataset by comparing with the Ninapro dataset. And we presented its usability for both HGR and biometric applications. Among other applications, the dataset can also be used for developing electrode-shift invariant generalized models, which can further bolster the development of wristband and forearm-bracelet sensors.

Project description:When treating upper-extremity infections, clinicians frequently must decide whether to initiate antibiotics or delay them with the goal of optimizing culture yield at the time of surgical debridement. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the administration of preoperative antibiotics affects intraoperative culture yield and whether there is a "safe" interval prior to culture acquisition within which antibiotics can be administered without affecting culture yield. We conducted a retrospective review of 470 consecutive patients who underwent debridement for a presumed acute infection of the hand, wrist, or forearm at a single tertiary care center between January 2015 and May 2020. Data including patient demographics, mechanism of infection and affected body part(s), and details of antibiotic administration, including type and timing with respect to culture acquisition, were collected. Three hundred and forty-one patients (73%) received preoperative antibiotics prior to debridement and culture acquisition. The rate of positive cultures among patients who received preoperative antibiotics was 81% compared with 95% among patients who did not receive preoperative antibiotics (p < 0.01; odds ratio, 4.73). Even a single dose of antibiotics imparted a significantly increased risk of obtaining negative intraoperative cultures, and an incremental increase in the likelihood of obtaining negative cultures was seen with each preoperative dose given up to 7 doses. We did not identify a "safe" interval of time between antibiotic administration and culture acquisition such that culture yield was not affected. Patients who received preoperative antibiotics for the treatment of upper-extremity infections were approximately 5 times more likely to have negative cultures at the time of debridement than those who did not receive preoperative antibiotics. This effect persisted regardless of the number of doses given or the interval between antibiotic administration and culture acquisition. Prognostic Level III.

Project description:BackgroundForearm, wrist, and hand impairments affect many individuals and impose a significant economic burden on health care systems. The FEPSim (flexion, extension, pronation, and supination) is designed for hand and wrist rehabilitation. It could become part of the standard care for upper extremity rehabilitation, aiming to improve range of motion, dexterity, and strength during therapeutic activities. However, the FEPSim has not yet been tested in a health care setting, highlighting the need for a trial to assess its effectiveness in upper extremity rehabilitation.ObjectiveWe aim to assess the feasibility of conducting a definitive trial investigating the effectiveness of adding a new device for hand therapy exercises, the FEPSim, to standard care for patients with impairments of the hand, wrist, and forearm.MethodsThirty-eight patients with impairments of distal upper extremities were randomly assigned either to the intervention group (FEPSim and standard care, n=19) or to the control group (standard care, n=19). Therapeutic activities to increase strength, range of motion, resistance, and dexterity were delivered by treating hand therapists using the FEPSim device for the intervention group. Outcome measures included wrist passive and active range of motion, grip strength, pinch grip force, and the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation.ResultsThe trial retention rate (36/38, 95%) and compliance (control group: 100%; intervention group: 89%) were high. The comparisons of the change-from-baseline between groups revealed that in 63.2% (12/19) of the outcome variables, the change was in favor of the FEPSim, with statistically significant improvements in passive wrist flexion (t34=-0.335, P=.008) and grip strength (t34=-1.841, P=.04).ConclusionsThe FEPSim was accepted as part of standard care by therapists and patients at 2 hospitals. The trial design was feasible for hand intervention using the FEPSim device. The FEPSim positively affected grip strength, an objective measure of hand functioning.
