We have implemented a deep learning model with L2 regularization and trained it on Electromyography (EMG) data. The data comprises of EMG signals collected from control group, myopathy and ALS patients. Our proposed deep neural network consists of eight layers; five fully connected, two batch normalization and one dropout layers. The data is divided into training and testing sections by subsequently dividing the training data into sub-training and validation sections. Having implemented this model, an accuracy of 99 percent is achieved on the test data set. The model was able to distinguishes the normal cases (control group) from the others at a precision of 100 percent and classify the myopathy and ALS with high accuracy of 97.4 and 98.2 percents, respectively. Thus we believe that, this highly improved classification accuracies will be beneficial for their use in the clinical diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders.
