Abstract

To cope with the high intra-subject variability of muscle activation intervals, a large amount of gait cycles is necessary to clearly document physiological or pathological muscle activity patterns during human locomotion. The Clustering for Identification of Muscle Activation Pattern (CIMAP) algorithm has been proposed to help clinicians obtaining a synthetic and clear description of normal and pathological muscle functions in human walking. Moreover, this algorithm allows the extraction of Principal Activations (PAs), defined as those muscle activations that are strictly necessary to perform a specific task and occur in every gait cycle. This contribution aims at assessing the impact of the number of gait cycles on the extraction of the PAs. Results demonstrated no statistically significant differences between PAs extracted considering different numbers of gait cycles, revealing, on average, similarity values higher than 0.88.
