In this study, the thickness deformation of the forearm extensor muscle was taken from ultrasound images during wrist extension-flexion; we call this process sonomyography (SMG). SMG provides an alternative signal source for prosthetic control with proprioception. The fast block-matching algorithm was used to track the thickness deformation and then the opening and closing of the prosthetic fin...
