Detecting Venous Blood in Calf Muscles Using Optimized Granger Causality-Inspired Graph Neural Network
摘要
Calf Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) may reduce the risk of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) by increasing venous blood flow. The study compared motor point-placed traditional gel electrodes (MPE) with secured Transverse Textile Electrodes (TTE) implanted into socks to measure peak venous velocity (PVV) and pain during calf neuromuscular electrical stimulation (calf-NMES). In this paper, Detecting Venous Blood in Calf Muscles using Optimized Granger Causality-Inspired Graph Neural Network (VBF-CMNMES-GCGNN) is proposed. Here, the input data are gathered from 16 healthy participants between 18 and 60. Afterwards, the data are given into Multi-Window Savitzky-Golay Filter (MWSF) for pre-processing to perform data cleaning, removing unwanted data and replacing the missing values. The proposed VBF-CMNMES-GCGNN strategy is implemented in Python. The performance metrics, like F1-score, accuracy, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and AUC (Area under the Curve) are examined. The proposed VBF-CMNMES-GCGNN attains 22.98%, 25.28% and 17.19% higher accuracy and 22.98%, 17.28% and 27.89% lower MAE when compared with the existing techniques like Wearable neuromuscular electrical stimulation on quadriceps muscle can improve venous flow (Q-NMES-IVF), Measurement of arterial occlusion pressure utilizing straight and curved blood flow restriction cuffs (AOP-SC-BFRC) and Effects on hemodynamic enhancement with distress of new textile electrode incorporated in a sock during calf neuromuscular electrical stimulation (TTE-CNMSE) respectively.
