Abstract. Mechanomyography (MMG) activity of the biceps muscle was recorded from thirteen subjects. Data was recorded while subjects performed dynamic contraction until fatigue. The signals were segmented into two parts (Non-Fatigue and Fatigue), An evolutionary algorithm was used to determine the elbow angles that best separate (using DBi) both Non-Fatigue and Fatigue segments of the MMG signal. Establishing the optimal elbow angle for feature extraction used in the evolutionary process was based on 70% of the conducted MMG trials. After completing twenty-six independent evolution runs, the best run containing the best elbow angles for separation (fatigue and non-fatigue) was selected and then tested on the remaining 30% of the data to measure the classification performance. Testing the performance of the optimal angle was undertaken on eight features that where extracted from each of the two classes (non-fatigue and fatigue) to quantify the performance. Results show that the elbow angles produced by the Genetic algorithm can be used for classification showing 80.64% highest correct classification for one of the features and on average of all eight features including worst performing features giving 66.50%.
