Table 3 The real-time myocontrol performance metrics calculated for each subject and control method

From: Learning regularized representations of categorically labelled surface EMG enables simultaneous and proportional myoelectric control

Metric

Abbreviation

Summary

Completion rate [%]

\(CR\)

The proportion of targets which are successfully reached

Completion time [s]

\(CT\)

The total time from the start of the task to the target being reached, averaged across all targets (excluding failed attempts)

Path Efficiency [%]

\(PE\)

The ratio between the length of the optimal (straight line) path from the origin to the target and the distance traversed by the cursor, averaged across all targets

Overshoot

\(O\)

Total number of occurrences during the test wherein the cursor leaves the target prior to dwell time elapsion, divided by the total number of targets

Throughput [bits/s]

\(T\)

The ratio between the (target-wise) index of difficulty and the (target-wise) completion time averaged across all successfully reached targets
