Using of multifractal analysis for electromyographic signals to detect limbs asymmetry

Abstract

The paper studies the possibility of using the multifractal analysis method to quantify the asymmetry of the patient's muscles. Signals received from Quadriceps femoris muscle, Gastrocnemius muscle, Biceps femoris muscle are used in the experiment. The results are indicative of how the Hurst index and the Renyi index values, being informative and used as the main characteristics of multifractals, can be used to detect violations of limb asymmetry.
