Forearm electromyography (EMG) generated by wrist movements has been widely used to develop an electrical prosthetic hand, but EMG generated by finger movements has been rarely used even though 20% of amputees lose fingers. The goal of this study is to improve the classification performance of different finger movements using a deep learning algorithm, and thereby contributing to the development of a high-performance finger-based prosthetic hand. Ten participants took part in this study, and they performed seven different finger movements forty times each (thumb, index, middle, ring, little, fist and rest) during which EMG was measured from the back of the right hand using four bipolar electrodes. We extracted mean absolute value (MAV), root mean square (RMS), and mean (MEAN) from the measured EMGs for each trial as features, and a 5x5-fold cross-validation was performed to estimate the classification performance of seven different finger movements. A long short-term memory (LSTM) model was used as a classifier, and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) that is a widely used classifier in previous studies was also used for comparison. The best performance of the LSTM model (sensitivity: 91.46 ± 6.72%; specificity: 91.27 ± 4.18%; accuracy: 91.26 ± 4.09%) significantly outperformed that of LDA (sensitivity: 84.55 ± 9.61%; specificity: 84.02 ± 6.00%; accuracy: 84.00 ± 5.87%). Our result demonstrates the feasibility of a deep learning algorithm (LSTM) to improve the performance of classifying different finger movements using EMG.

유기용제가 신경행동기능에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 에탄올을 이용하여 저농도의 유기용제가 신경행동기능에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하고 신경행동기능 영역중 에탄올에 민감한 기능영역을 선별하기 위하여 실험연구를 시행하였다. 영남대학교 의과대학 학생중 20명을 대상으로 설문조사 및 신경행동학적 검사를 1996년 8월동안 실시하였다. 대상자의 체중 kg당 100% 알코올 0.5g을 섭취하고 개인용 컴퓨터를 이용하여 단순반응시간, 색단어구분, 숫자구분, 손가락두드리기, 숫자더하기, 부호숫자짝짓기, 숫자외우기를 시행하였다. 알코올 섭취 전과 후의 신경행동기능의 변화량은 단순반응시간(반응시간 237.4 : 269 msec, p<0.01), 숫자구분(반응시간 490.4 : 553.9 msec, p<0.01), 우수의 손가락두드리기(반응시간 66.7 : 63.3, p<0.05)와 부호숫자짝짓기(반응시간 1958.7 : 2066.6 msec, p<0.05)에서 통계적으로 매우 유의하였다. 평소 음주량이 많을수록 단순반응시간, 열수의 손가락두드리기, 부호숫자짝짓기에서는 반응시간이 길어지고, 우수의 손가락두드리기에서 두드린 수가 적어지는 경향을 보였다. 흡연량이 많을수록 열수의 손가락두드리기에서 두드린 횟수가 증가하는 경향을 보였다(p<0.05). 알코올의 급성폭로 후 나타난 결과로 만성적 폭로의 영향을 평가하는데 이용하기에는 다소 무리가 있으나 향후 유기용제의 만성효과에 관한 역학적 연구를 위한 신경행동학적 검사항목의 선택에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives : To satisfy the demand of good treatment of constipation Methods : we investigated the literatures of Oriental Medicine about Constipation. Results: 1. There are three categories of etimological factors of constipation, that is, endogenous, exogenous and non-exo-endogenous factor. The endogenous factor is caused by seven emotions, called depression of Ki and stagnation of Ki. The exogenous factor is six excessive atmospheric influences, for example, wind, cold, dampness, heat and dryness. And the non-exo-endogenous factors are overfatigue, improper diet, stagnated blood and deficiency of Ki and blood that comes from old age, long disease and after delivery. 2. Classification: According to cause of disease it is classified by constipation due to cold, heat, wind, dryness, retention of undigested and phlegm. According to Internal Organs there are constipation due to deficiency syndrome of the stomach, excess syndrome of the stomach, deficiency syndrome of kidney and splenic constipation. And Differentiation of syndromes according to Ki and blood, there are constipation of deficiency type and excess type. There are constipation due to stagnation and deficiency of Ki, deficiency of blood and stagnated blood. 3. Principles and Methods of treatment 1) Herbal Medicine (1) Excess type [1] Constipation due to heat : Seunggitang(承氣湯) and Majainwhan(麻子仁丸) [2] Constipation due to stagnation of Ki : Samatang(四磨湯) and Yukmatang(六磨湯) (2) Deficiency type [1] Constipation due to deficiency of Ki : Whanggitang(黃?湯) [2] Constipation due to deficiency of blood: Yunjangwhan(潤腸丸) [3] Constipation due to cold : Jechunjun(濟川煎) and Banyuwhan(半硫丸) 2) Enema therapy: It is a method to induce defecation by honey or pig's bile juice for weak people. 3) Acupuncture and Moxibustion: Acupoints used to treat constipation are BL25, ST25 and TE6. Moxibustion at CV8, CV6 is good for constipation due to cold. (4) Diet therapy: It is very important that we eat meals regularly and defecate on the same time even if you don't. And we have to eat food like fruits, vegetables and beans. (5) finger pressure: Finger pressing around these points like ST25, SP25, BL25, BL31, BL32, BL33 and BL34 is good for it. (6) Kigong therapy: Abdominal breathing (7) Old man' s constipation: Hip bath or diet therapy is commended. Laxation with lubricant like Supungyunjangwhan(搜風潤腸丸) is used. (8) Women' s constipation: After delivery, we have to administer tonifying prescription Sipjundaebotang(十全大補湯) and enema can be used. Conclusion : We have to examine the cause of disease and bowl movement carefully. After comprehensive analysis of the data gained by the four methods of diagnosis, we diagnose and treat patients on the base of overall of symptoms and signs.
