A Review on Hybrid Myoelectric Control Systems for Upper Limb Prosthesis

, 2015
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.

An unusual complication of a myoelectric prosthesis

Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 2001
This clinical note describes an unusual and previously unreported complication of wearing a myoelectric prosthesis in a child with congenital upper limb deficiency. After an initial period of wearing a cosmetic prosthesis, he was provided with a child's trans-radial myoelectric prosthesis with a Steeper Scamp Electric hand at the age of 21 months ...

A myoelectric prosthesis controller

2003 IEEE 29th Annual Proceedings of Bioengineering Conference, 2003
Myoelectric prostheses are preferred for their natural way of control and enhanced cosmetic restoration. Developing a software program that proportionally controls an upper limb myoelectric prosthesis is our target. Software processing of the (EMG) signal was performed by extracting the energy, RMS, and zero crossings features from the EMG signal, and ...

Development of surface myoelectric sensor for myoelectric hand prosthesis

2006 37th IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference, 2006
This paper proposes a compact-sized surface myoelectric sensor for myoelectric hand prosthesis. To fit the surface myoelectric sensor in the socket of the myoelectric hand prosthesis, the sensor should be a compact size. The surface myoelectric sensor is composed of a skin interface and a single processing circuit that are mounted on a single package ...

Designing a Serious Game for Myoelectric Prosthesis Control

2020 IEEE 8th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH), 2020
As an amputee, learning how to control a myoelectric prosthesis is a difficult task. One of the main issues with conventional, highly repetitive, rehabilitation methods is the lack of engagement and motivation of the patients that often leads to high rejection rates of the prosthetic device. This work proposes and implements a novel serious game design,

Prosthesis-guided training of pattern recognition-controlled myoelectric prosthesis

2012 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2012
Pattern recognition can provide intuitive control of myoelectric prostheses. Currently, screen-guided training (SGT), in which individuals perform specific muscle contractions in sync with prompts displayed on a screen, is the common method of collecting the electromyography (EMG) data necessary to train a pattern recognition classifier.

A myoelectrically-controlled prosthesis with sensory feedback

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1979
An electrically-operated hand, controlled by myopotentials, has been fitted with strain gauges in the index finger which measure the gripping force between thumb and index finger. These strain gauges cause an electrical stimulus to be applied to the skin directly above the median nerve.

Channel selection for simultaneous myoelectric prosthesis control

2014 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), 2014
To develop a clinically available prosthesis based on electromyography (EMG) signals, the number of recording electrodes should be as small as possible. In this study, we investigate the possibility of the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for finding electrode subsets suitable for regression based myoelectric prosthesis control ...

A control unit for myoelectrically controlled prosthesis

Proceedings of the First Joint BMES/EMBS Conference. 1999 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 21st Annual Conference and the 1999 Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society (Cat. No.99CH37015), 2003
The long time for getting an acceptable response in myoelectric prosthesis has been a problem. Thanks to DSP processors, the myoelectric signal (MES) processing time has had a drastic reduction. This paper describes a control unit for a myoelectric prosthesis using statistic variables related to contraction force.
