Successful control of multi-degree of freedom upper limb prostheses generally uses some form of sequential instruction. This is because simultaneous control of multiple inputs requires a considerable concentration to be ...

Silicon as an interface is a very good material, one that gives us the ability to solve problems not easily solved before. The long Trans-radial has never been easy to fit. When we first started to manufacture bespoke ...

There have been numerous attempts to integrate electrodes into liners to operate externally powered devices. Various methods and techniques have been tried from RTV laminated sockets to off-the-shelf liners as well as a ...

Accepted steady-state myoelectric signal generation mechanisms model the myoelectric signal as a stochastic signal. However, recent experimental evidence showed that there is a fairly deterministic component in the myoelectric ...

The prosthetic arm market is small; perhaps 70,000 people lack arms in the US. This, coupled with the difficulty of making and controlling a mechatronic hand replacement, has forestalled innovation in arm prostheses in ...

For many years myoelectric fittings have been limited by the need for signals of at least 2011V when using convenient in-socket myoelectrode-amplifiers. With the introduction of the Bloorview-MacMillan MyoMicro technology, ...
