Prediction of muscular paralysis disease based on hybrid feature extraction with machine learning technique for COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 patients

Abstract

Many Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and post-COVID-19 patients experience muscle fatigues. Early detection of muscle fatigue and muscular paralysis helps in the diagnosis, prediction, and prevention of COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 patients. Nowadays, the biomedical and clinical domains widely used the electromyography (EMG) signal due to its ability to differentiate various neuromuscular diseases. In general, nerves or muscles and the spinal cord influence numerous neuromuscular disorders. The clinical examination plays a major role in early finding and diagnosis of these diseases; this research study focused on the prediction of muscular paralysis using EMG signals. Machine learning–based diagnosis of the diseases has been widely used due to its efficiency and the hybrid feature extraction (FE) methods with deep learning classifier are used for the muscular paralysis disease prediction. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method is applied to decompose the EMG signal and reduce feature degradation. The proposed hybrid FE method consists of Yule-Walker, Burg’s method, Renyi entropy, mean absolute value, min-max voltage FE, and other 17 conventional features for prediction of muscular paralysis disease. The hybrid FE method has the advantage of extract the relevant features from the signals and the Relief-F feature selection (FS) method is applied to select the optimal relevant feature for the deep learning classifier. The University of California, Irvine (UCI), EMG-Lower Limb Dataset is used to determine the performance of the proposed classifier. The evaluation shows that the proposed hybrid FE method achieved 88% of precision, while the existing neural network (NN) achieved 65% of precision and the support vector machine (SVM) achieved 35% of precision on whole EMG signal.

A review on remote health monitoring sensors and their filtering techniques

“…The number of times the human heart contracts per minute is known as pulse rate. In adults, the normal pulse rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute [51] . Any changes from this normal range indicate abnormal heart conditions.…”

Conceptual Analytics on Integration of Network Technologies with Crowdsourcing Infrastructure

“…This utilised vision algorithms to develop an interface in smart phones to detect the locations of the park. Zhu et al [10] combined the characteristics of edge technologies, crowdsourcing with big data to adapt a best method to transmit huge video data. The best method was chosen after initial analysis of viewer behaviour data.…”

“…The optimised model called Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA2) was developed and found with good efficiency and reliability. A cost and energy efficient model were developed by Peng et al [10] [21] that consumed less time of resource utilisation in cloud-based environment as well as mobile edge computing. The study used two models: multi objective computation offloading method as well as non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II to find optimal offloading strategies as well as workflow dimensions.…”

“…Crowdsourcing is a technological model which is capable of obtaining information from various sources related to commercial, educative or a particular domain like CCTV [7] or traffic surveillance to analyse and make efficient decision making of situations [8][9]. However, crowdsourcing requires the support of various technologies to act with speed in tough situations [10].…”

Quality Characteristics of an LMS UX Psychomotor Model for the Design and Evaluation of Learning Management Systems

“…The understanding of user experience (UX) is a first step to the user-centered design approach [7][8][9][10][11][12] for the development of educational applications to be assessed by a teeming number of thousands of students irrespective of place and time. The UX research community has conducted research in a number of domains and contexts of interaction like interactive entertainment system [13]; social media [14]; industrial environment and systems [15]; interactive environments [16]; interactive kiosks systems [17]; interactive products [18]; mobile applications [19]; healthcare systems [20]; augmented reality apps [21]; and e-commerce websites [22]. However, in the context of teaching and learning, UX is relatively new [5].…”
