The Evaluation of Massage Skill of Palm Press Based on Dynamics and Kinematical Data

In this paper, through the study of the characteristic rule of palm press massage experts' dynamics information such as intensity of pressure, frequency, action area and etc. Based on the characteristic rule the different massage manipulation can be classified into several classes. In the meantime, the forearm surface EMG signal (sEMG) of the experts is collected. Then by analyzing the massager's action frequency, uniformity degree and pressure degree reflected by the dynamics data, the massager's skill is assessed and also can be corrected by the feed back of the sEMG information.
