Pathological tremor prediction using surface EMG and acceleration: potential use in ON-OFF demand driven deep brain stimulator design

摘要

ObjectiveWe present a proof of concept for a novel method of predicting the onset of pathological tremor using non-invasively measured surface electromyogram (sEMG) and acceleration from tremor-affected extremities of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Essential tremor (ET).
