On the Development of EMG Control for a Prosthetic Hand

Recent Advances in EMG Pattern Recognition for Prosthetic Control

Biomimetic Impedance Control of an EMG-Based Robotic Hand

The number of extremity amputations resulting from workplace mishaps, traffic accidents and other incidents has shown an increasing trend over time, although the importance of safety management and the prevention of such accidents is fully recognized. Since precise and complex motion may be very difficult in the daily activities of amputees, the development of prosthetic systems is necessary to...

Trends in EMG based Prosthetic Hand Development: A Review

In this paper we have discussed the trends undergoing in all the various steps involved in EMG (Electromyogram) based prosthetic hand development. In order to overcome some limitations of current prosthetic hands mainly related to the proper functionality and controllability, the prosthetic hand has been designed following a biomechatronic approach based on biologically inspired design solution...

Analysis of Grasping Motion Using a Virtual Prosthetic Control System

Electromyogram (EMG) signals can be measured from human muscles and can be used to anticipate movements. In fact, many researchers have tried to use these signals as an interface tool for a prosthetic hand. However, most of these studies focused on the discrimination performance of the EMG signals, and only discussed the control method for the prosthetic hand. Evaluation of the operating perfor...

Prediction of Above-elbow Motions in Amputees, based on Electromyographic(EMG) Signals, Using Nonlinear Autoregressive Exogenous (NARX) Model

Introduction In order to improve the quality of life of amputees, biomechatronic researchers and biomedical engineers have been trying to use a combination of various techniques to provide suitable rehabilitation systems. Diverse biomedical signals, acquired from a specialized organ or cell system, e.g., the nervous system, are the driving force for the whole system. Electromyography(EMG), as a...

1µm-thickness 64-channel surface electromyogram measurement sheet with 2V organic transistors for prosthetic hand control

A surface electromyogram (EMG), which measures a voltage waveform produced by skeletal muscles on skin, is an important tool for applications detecting the human will of motion, such as for prosthetic hands and prosthetic legs. In the application to a prosthetic hand, a multipoint EMG measurement is required to precisely control the hand [1, 2]. Conventional multipoint measurements with a passi...
