System training and assessment in simultaneous proportional myoelectric prosthesis control

At-Home Computer-Aided Myoelectric Training System for Wrist Prosthesis

Development of tools for rehabilitation and restoration of the movement after amputation can benefit from the real time interactive virtual animation model of the human hand. Here, we report a computer-aided training/learning system for wrist disarticulated amputees, using the open source integrated development environment called “Processing”. This work also presents the development of a low-co...

Augmented reality improves myoelectric prosthesis training

This paper presents an augmented reality-based interface for the training of myoelectric prostheses. The new interface provides users with a natural and intuitive method to develop the muscles used to control a myoelectric prosthetic. We conducted a study comparing the new system to existing methods and found the augmented reality-based system to be superior in a number of subjective dimensions...

patterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment

although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...

Game-Based Rehabilitation for Myoelectric Prosthesis Control

BACKGROUND A high number of upper extremity myoelectric prosthesis users abandon their devices due to difficulties in prosthesis control and lack of motivation to train in absence of a physiotherapist. Virtual training systems, in the form of video games, provide patients with an entertaining and intuitive method for improved muscle coordination and improved overall control. Complementary to es...
