Knee problems, although increasing in the elderly, are one of the most important orthopedic
problems that occur at any age and reduce the person's standard of living by making it difficult to move.
In recent years, increasing in the use of surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals from muscles has
highlighted the use of these signals in the detection of movement and movement disorders. In this study,
sEMG signals, from patients with different knee abnormalities and healthy individuals, the muscles
responsible for the bending (flexion) and stretching/extension (extension) movements of the knee
(rectus femoris (RF), biceps femoris (FB), semitendinosus (ST), vastus medialis (VM)), recorded
during gait, sitting, and standing were evaluated with some statistical-based features. Unlike the
literature, the classification processes were alsoperformed for each muscle and each movement, and
therefore the effect of the muscles on the classification performance was examined.
