Revealing the unique features of each individual’s muscle activation signatures
2020
AbstractThere is growing evidence that each individual has unique movement patterns, or signatures. The exact origin of these movement signatures however, remains unknown. We developed an approach that can identify individual muscle activation signatures during two locomotor tasks (walking and pedalling). A linear Support Vector Machine was used to classify 78 participants based on their electromyographic (EMG) patterns measured on eight lower limb muscles. To provide insight into decision making by the machine learning classification model, a Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP) approach was implemented. This enabled the model predictions to be decomposed into relevance scores for each i…
Revealing the unique features of each individual's muscle activation signatures

International audience; There is growing evidence that each individual has unique movement patterns, or signatures. The exact origin of these movement signatures, however, remains unknown.

Explaining the unique nature of individual gait patterns with deep learning
2019
Machine learning (ML) techniques such as (deep) artificial neural networks (DNN) are solving very successfully a plethora of tasks and provide new predictive models for complex physical, chemical, biological and social systems. However, in most cases this comes with the disadvantage of acting as a black box, rarely providing information about what made them arrive at a particular prediction. This black box aspect of ML techniques can be problematic especially in medical diagnoses, so far hampering a clinical acceptance. The present paper studies the uniqueness of individual gait patterns in clinical biomechanics using DNNs. By attributing portions of the model predictions back to the input …
