Abstract

For control of myoelectric prosthesis, research has mainly focused on sequential steady-state motions, e.g. flexion of the wrist at constant force. This may lead to less natural control of prostheses and consequently a more robot-like functionality and appearance. The aim of this work was to investigate pattern recognition for control of dynamic single and simultaneous motions.

Ten able-bodied subjects were included performing four single and four simultaneous dynamic motions with direct switches between motions. These motions could be classified with high accuracy (> 0.90).

This study was supported by a grant from the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation (grant number 10-080813) and the Danish Siemens Foundation.
