Skill assessment in upper limb myoelectric prosthesis users: Validation of a clinically feasible method for characterising upper limb temporal and amplitude variability during the performance of functional tasks [PDF]

, 2017
Upper limb myoelectric prostheses remain challenging to use and are often abandoned. A proficient user must be able to plan/execute arm movements while activating the residual muscle(s), accounting for delays and unpredictability in prosthesis response ...

sEMG‐Based Explainable Neural Networks Using Transfer Learning for Intersubject Finger‐Joint‐Angle Estimation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Schematic of the proposed method. A K‐nearest‐neighbors clustering‐based pretraining strategy was adopted to ensure similarity between the data used for pretraining and that of a new user. Besides, the proposed method pioneeringly utilized an attention mechanism to learn the relationship between muscles and hand movements for finger‐joint‐angle ...

Improving bimanual interaction with a prosthesis using semi-autonomous control

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019
Background The loss of a hand is a traumatic experience that substantially compromises an individual’s capability to interact with his environment. The myoelectric prostheses are state-of-the-art (SoA) functional replacements for the lost limbs.
