Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
Background and ObjectivesProsthetic hand development is undergoing a transformative phase, blending biomimicry and neural interface technologies to redefine functionality and sensory feedback. This article explores the symbiotic relationship between ...

Online Unsupervised Adaptation of Latent Representation for Myoelectric Control During User-Decoder Co-Adaptation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Myoelectric control interfaces, which map electromyographic (EMG) signals into control commands for external devices, have applications in active prosthesis control. However, the statistical characteristics of EMG signals change over time (e.g., beca...

A low-cost transhumeral prosthesis operated via an ML-assisted EEG-head gesture control system.

Journal of neural engineering
Key challenges in upper limb prosthetics include a lack of effective control systems, the often invasive surgical requirements of brain-controlled limbs, and prohibitive costs. As a result, disuse rates remain high despite potential for increased qua...

Shared Control of Supernumerary Robotic Limbs Using Mixed Realityand Mouth-and-Tongue Interfaces.

Biosensors
Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) are designed to collaborate with the wearer, enhancing operational capabilities. When human limbs are occupied with primary tasks, controlling SRLs flexibly and naturally becomes a challenge. Existing methods such a...

Merging motoneuron and postural synergies in prosthetic hand design for natural bionic interfacing.

Science robotics
Despite the advances in bionic reconstruction of missing limbs, the control of robotic limbs is still limited and, in most cases, not felt to be as natural by users. In this study, we introduce a control approach that combines robotic design based on...

Highly Responsive Robotic Prosthetic Hand Control Considering Electrodynamic Delay.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
As robots become increasingly integrated into human society, the importance of human-machine interfaces continues to grow. This study proposes a faster and more accurate control system for myoelectric prostheses by considering the Electromechanical D...

Human Collaborative Control of Lower-Limb Prosthesis Based on Game Theory and Fuzzy Approximation.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
For leg prosthesis user, the soft tissue and skin under the stump of are not accustomed to weight bearing, excessive continuous contact pressure can lead to the risk of degenerative tissue ulceration. This article presents a novel human-robot collabo...

A Multi-Scale CNN for Transfer Learning in sEMG-Based Hand Gesture Recognition for Prosthetic Devices.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Advancements in neural network approaches have enhanced the effectiveness of surface Electromyography (sEMG)-based hand gesture recognition when measuring muscle activity. However, current deep learning architectures struggle to achieve good generali...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Transtibial Prosthetic Socket Shape Design Using Artificial Intelligence: A Clinical Comparison With Traditional Plaster Cast Socket Designs.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of creating an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to enhance prosthetic socket shapes for transtibial prostheses, aiming for a less operator-dependent, standardized approach.

Restoration of grasping in an upper limb amputee using the myokinetic prosthesis with implanted magnets.

Science robotics
The loss of a hand disrupts the sophisticated neural pathways between the brain and the hand, severely affecting the level of independence of the patient and the ability to carry out daily work and social activities. Recent years have witnessed a rap...
