Abstract

This chapter describes the detailed settings of the knee joint vibroarthrographic signal acquisition system. The text also presents a cascade moving average filter method to estimate the baseline wander in the raw signal, along with the combination of the ensemble empirical mode decomposition and detrended fluctuation analysis algorithms to remove the random noise. The filtering techniques for reduction of muscle contraction interference are also reviewed in the chapter.
