The relationship between sEMG signals and muscle force, and associated joint torque, is an object of study for clinical applications such as rehabilitation robotics and commercial applications as wearable motion control devices. The information type and quality obtained by sEMG can impact the classification and prediction accuracy of ankle joint torque. In this thesis project, HD-sEMG based data was collected together with ankle joint torque measurements from 5 subjects during MVIC of plantarflexors and dorsiflexors. Machine learning approaches ideally suited for nonlinear regression tasks, such as MLP and LSTM, have been implemented and evaluated to best predict joint torque profiles given extracted features from sEMG data. An evaluation of machine learning performances using HD-sEMG data over bipolar sEMG data has been conducted in intra-session, inter-subjective and intra-subjective study cases.
