Exploring the impact of myoelectric prosthesis controllers on visuomotor behavior

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background Prosthesis users often rely on vision to monitor the activity of their prosthesis, which can be cognitively demanding. This compensatory visual behaviour may be attributed to an absence of feedback from the prosthesis or the unreliability of ...

Effect of User Practice on Prosthetic Finger Control With an Intuitive Myoelectric Decoder

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Machine learning-based myoelectric control is regarded as an intuitive paradigm, because of the mapping it creates between muscle co-activation patterns and prosthesis movements that aims to simulate the physiological pathways found in the human arm ...

Design of an Accessible, Powered Myoelectrically Controlled Hand Prosthesis

open access: yesTEM Journal, 2017
In this paper we describe accessible myoelectric prosthetic hand design based on modification of existing mechanical prosthesis and off-the-shelf parts and components. Despite significant advances in myoelectric prosthetics, such existing devices remain out of reach of the majority of the patients needing them due to high costs and complexity.

Can We Achieve Intuitive Prosthetic Elbow Control Based on Healthy Upper Limb Motor Strategies?

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurorobotics, 2018
Most transhumeral amputees report that their prosthetic device lacks functionality, citing the control strategy as a major limitation. Indeed, they are required to control several degrees of freedom with muscle groups primarily used for elbow actuation ...

Operator performance in myoelectric control of a multifunction prosthesis stimulator

open access: yesThe Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development, 1990
In this paper, a microcomputer-based system is described which facilitates the evaluation of different myoelectric control strategies. The system is based on an IBM-PC/AT microcomputer which generates and develops tracking targets, processes and displays the operator's response, and computes tracking performance.

A Review on hybrid myoelectric control systems for upper limb prosthesis

open access: yes, 2018
Prosthesis is a device extension which is used to replace a missing body part. Amputees who lost all or part of the upper limb may use a prosthesis depending on their requirement.

Structured training of children fitted with myoelectric prostheses

open access: yes, 1991
This paper presents an occupational therapy method for training children fitted with myoelectric prostheses. It is based upon a structured way of describing the accomplishments of a child fitted with a myoelectric prosthesis, called the Skill Index ...

The Southampton Hand: an intelligent myoelectric prosthesis.

open access: yesJournal of rehabilitation research and development, 1995
The form of the control and structure of the mechanism of an artificial hand are important factors which tend to dictate the prosthesis' level of use. Conventional prostheses are simple devices with limited functional range and a control format that requires high levels of user concentration for successful operation.
