MUSED-I: "Multi-Gesture Surface Electromyography (sEMG) Dataset for Stroke Rehabilitation”

The published Surface Electromyography (sEMG) dataset was captured under the supervision of trained physiotherapists and doctors at Mayo Hospital Lahore and National University of Sciences & Technology by following two months long experimental protocol.Data recording was carried out following the World Medical Association's (WMA) Standard operating procedure and Declaration of Helsinki, with approval from the Research Ethical Committee of the National University of Science and Technology (approval no: M-20221206). Before data acquisition, participants received a comprehensive oral explanation of the experiment, safety measures, and associated risks. Informed written consent was obtained from stroke patients before data recording. Participants sat comfortably in an armchair with their arms vertically positioned relative to the floor. The Myo armband was carefully placed on their forearm, ensuring the electrodes remained at a consistent distance of 5 centimetres from the elbow. Participants then followed the on-screen prompts to perform the specified gestures.Ten healthy subjects (with no prior history of upper limb pathology) and two upper limb stroke patients participated in the study.  The dataset comprises the raw surface electromyography (sEMG) signals collected for the six gestures (wrist flexion, wrist extension, hand close, wrist radial deviation, wrist ulnar deviation and rest) via Myo armband. All eight channels of the Myo armband were utilized for data acquisition.

本公开的表面肌电（Surface Electromyography, sEMG）数据集，是在拉合尔梅奥医院与国家科技大学（National University of Sciences & Technology）的受训物理治疗师及医师监督下，遵循为期两个月的实验方案采集得到的。数据采集严格遵循世界医学协会（World Medical Association, WMA）的标准操作规程及《赫尔辛基宣言》，并已获得国家科技大学研究伦理委员会批准（批准号：M-20221206）。数据采集前，研究人员已向所有受试者全面口头讲解实验内容、安全防护措施及相关风险；脑卒中患者还需签署书面知情同意书后方可参与数据采集。受试者舒适地坐在扶手椅中，手臂与地面保持垂直状态。研究人员将Myo臂环小心佩戴于受试者前臂，确保电极与肘关节间距始终保持为5厘米。随后受试者按照屏幕提示完成指定手势动作。本研究共招募10名无上肢既往病史的健康受试者，以及2名上肢脑卒中患者参与。本数据集包含通过Myo臂环采集的6种手势动作下的原始表面肌电（sEMG）信号，6种手势分别为腕屈、腕伸、握拳、腕桡偏、腕尺偏及静息状态。本次数据采集使用了Myo臂环的全部8个采集通道。
