For the problem that falls often seriously jeopardize to the health of the elderly
this paper designs a fall detection method based on EMG signals.Firstly
the feature of fuzzy entropy is extracted from the sEMG on the gastrocnemius and vastus lateralis muscle.Then
the weighted kernel Fisher linear discriminant analysis is proposed for the dataset imbalance problem that the number of activities of daily life (ADL) is far more than the fall
and the samples nuclear matrix is adjusted by the appropriate balance parameters.Finally
the fall is identified from walking
squat and sit down by this method.The experimental results show that the method has 96.7% fall and 99.4% ADL average recognition rate
and is better than the other classification methods.
