A stroke represents a significant medical condition characterized by the sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to cellular damage or death. The impact of stroke on individuals can vary from mild impairments to severe disability. Treatment for stroke often focuses on gait rehabilitation. Notably, assessing muscle activation and kinematics patterns using electromyography (EMG) and stereophotogrammetry, respectively, during walking can provide information regarding pathological gait conditions. The concurrent measurement of EMG and kinematics can help in understanding disfunction in the contribution of specific muscles to different phases of gait. To this aim, complexity metrics (e.g., sample entropy; approximate entropy; spectral entropy) applied to EMG and kinematics have been demonstrated to be effective in identifying abnormal conditions. Moreover, the conditional entropy between EMG and kinematics can identify the relationship between gait data and muscle activation patterns. This study aims to utilize several machine learning classifiers to distinguish individuals with stroke from healthy controls based on kinematics and EMG complexity measures. The cubic support vector machine applied to EMG metrics delivered the best classification results reaching 99.85% of accuracy. This method could assist clinicians in monitoring the recovery of motor impairments for stroke patients. |
