Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Prosthetic Control
Hand Clinics, 2021Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a surgical procedure, whereby nerves without muscle targets after extremity amputation are transferred to residual stump muscles. Thereby, the control of prosthesis is improved by increasing the number of independent muscle signals. The authors describe indications for TMR to improve prosthetic control and present

Motions of the human limbs are controlled by a neuromotor system (NMS), which operates similarly to that of a thermostat. Setting the thermostat to a specific temperature activates the HVAC system to add or subtract heat from the room to reach the desired temperature.

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994
Recent advances in two types of prosthetic gait are particularly noteworthy, namely work on limb and neural prostheses. Current work on artificial limbs has been oriented towards improving devices, with commercialization as the driving force. Progress has been made in understanding how the compliant properties of the foot, ankle and knee joints of ...

The KIT Prosthetic Hand: Design and Control
2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2018The development and control of prosthetic hands is an active research area and recently progress in mechatronics, sensor integration and innovative control has been made. However, integration of different components into a prosthetic hand remains challenging due to space constraints, the requirements regarding holistic integration and the need for a ...

Application of robotics to prosthetic control
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 1980Multiaxis robotic and prosthetic systems have a number of common characteristics such that control techniques for robots may sometimes be adapted for prosthetic devices. One characteristic that is particularly important for these systems is that good performance over a wide range of motion and loads is difficult since it is dependent upon complex time ...

Controlling a prosthetic arm with a throat microphone
2007 29th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2007The aim of the present paper is to illustrate the phases of design and application of an innovative input source for an EMG upper limb prosthetic arm: a laryngophone, otherwise called throat microphone (t-mic). In the last years several different input sources were explored, from the implantable myoelectric sensors to the mechanomyographic sensors. The

Research on brain control prosthetic hand
2014 11th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI), 2014By the development of biosensor, signal processing techniques and critical technical breakthrough, the concept of brain-computer interface has been extended and emphasized that the interface between brain and electromechanical equipment is involved rather than just computer.

A Hierarchical Approach to the Control of a Prosthetic Arm
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 1977A hierarchical method combining analytical techniques from control theory and heuristic techniques from artificial intelligence is presented and applied to the decentralized control of a prosthetic arm. The dynamic model of the arm is derived, and two complementary performance criteria are suggested for the kinematic and the dynamic evaluation for the ...

Optimal Control of an Active Prosthetic Ankle
Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering, 2017Active below-knee prosthesis has been commercially available but the present day devices consume high amount of torque, resulting in high power requirement. A gap in the complete understanding of the biomechanics of ankle-foot followed by dynamic interaction of an amputee and prosthesis is one of the main hitches in developing optimal bio-mimetic ankle-
