Effect of arm position on the prediction of kinematics from EMG in amputees
(Springer Verlag, 2013-02-01)Myoelectric control has been extensively applied in multi-function hand/wrist prostheses. The performance of this type of control is however, influenced by several practical factors that still limit its clinical applicability. ... -
EMG-based simultaneous and proportional estimation of wrist/hand kinematics in uni-lateral trans-radial amputees
(BioMed Central, 2012-06-28)We propose a method for estimating wrist kinematics during dynamic wrist contractions from multi-channel surface electromyography (EMG). The algorithm extracts features from the surface EMG and uses dedicated multi-layer ... -
Linear and Nonlinear Regression Techniques for Simultaneous and Proportional Myoelectric Control
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014-03-01)In recent years the number of active controllable joints in electrically powered hand-prostheses has increased significantly. However, the control strategies for these devices in current clinical use are inadequate as they ...
