The Effectiveness of Narrowing the Window size for LD & HD EMG Channels based on Novel Deep Learning Wavelet Scattering Transform Feature Extraction Approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The use of the Electromyogram (EMG) signals as a source of control to command externally powered prostheses is often challenged by the signal complexity and non-stationary behavior. Mainly, two factors affect classification accuracy: selecting the op...

The efficacy of robot-assisted training for patients with upper limb amputations who use myoelectric prostheses: a randomized controlled pilot study.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
The aim of this pilot study was to investigate whether a movement therapy robot can improve skills in using a myoelectric prosthesis by patients with upper limb amputations. This prospective randomized, controlled study included a total of eleven pat...

OBJECTIVE: To review and evaluate the research progress of the robot-assisted joint arthroplasty.

A brain-computer interface that evokes tactile sensations improves robotic arm control.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Prosthetic arms controlled by a brain-computer interface can enable people with tetraplegia to perform functional movements. However, vision provides limited feedback because information about grasping objects is best relayed through tactile feedback...

Towards Sonomyography-Based Real-Time Control of Powered Prosthesis Grasp Synergies.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Sonomyography (ultrasound imaging) offers a way of classifying complex muscle activity and configuration, with higher SNR and lower hardware requirements than sEMG, using various supervised learning algorithms. The physiological image obtained from a...

A Paediatric 3D-Printed Soft Robotic Hand Prosthesis for Children with Upper Limb Loss.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Designing prosthetic hands for children is challenging due to the limited space for electronics and the need of reducing the cost to cater for the constant growth of their hand. In this paper, we proposed an anthropomorphic hand prosthesis for childr...

Self-Contained Neuromusculoskeletal Arm Prostheses.

The New England journal of medicine
We report the use of a bone-anchored, self-contained robotic arm with both sensory and motor components over 3 to 7 years in four patients after transhumeral amputation. The implant allowed for bidirectional communication between a prosthetic hand an...
