In this work, EMG signal is used to estimate human arm
muscle force by implementing a new Back-Propagation neural
network (BPNN) model. The proposed model, uses the rectified smoothed electromyography (RSEMG) signals as input to
generate the estimated muscle force as an output. To train the
system, the Biceps-brachii muscle force was used. To validate
our model, the Brachioradialis, Triceps-brachii, and Flexor carpiulnaris muscles’ signals were used. To measure the performance
of the model, the BPNN output estimated force is compared with
the Hill-Type force estimation.
