Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this paper, an attempt is made to explain the stroke survivor gait recovery mechanism using Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) of surface electromyography signals (sEMG). The existing gait functionality indices could describe the gait recovery through the improvement of gait parameters such as stride length, heel clearance, stance and swing time etc. However these indices reveal little information related to the kinesiology status. To address this knowledge gap, we propose an approach to decompose the sEMG signals acquired during the rehabilitation treatment using EEMD so as to reveal gait deficits in the perspective of motor unit recruitment and its firing patterns. 15 stroke survivors were recruited and their sEMG signals acquired from Gastrocnemius Lateral (GL) and Tibialis Anterior (TA) muscles were further decomposed into different intrinsic mode functions (IMF) using EEMD. Each IMF contains superimposed motor unit action potential (MUAP) with its specific frequency range. The evolvement of IMFs over three recovery stages was observed. Results show that foot drop can be caused by lack of high frequency IMF components in TA during the swing phase. Besides that, spasticity was observed in all IMF components from GL muscle that leads to counteract with TA muscle. Lack of high frequency IMF components in GL during the stance phase would increase the stance time. Co-activation from TA during the stance phase could contribute to this effect as well. In conclusion, the proposed approach could reveal additional information at kinesiology level to explain how well a stroke survivor recovers.
