Improving Automatic Control of Upper-Limb Prosthesis Wrists Using Gaze-Centered Eye Tracking and Deep Learning.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Many upper-limb prostheses lack proper wrist rotation functionality, leading to users performing poor compensatory strategies, leading to overuse or abandonment. In this study, we investigate the validity of creating and implementing a data-driven pr...

Research on the Improved CNN Deep Learning Method for Motion Intention Recognition of Dynamic Lower Limb Prosthesis.

Journal of healthcare engineering
OBJECTIVE: In order to study the motion recognition intention of lower limb prosthesis based on the CNN deep learning algorithm.

Spatio-temporal warping for myoelectric control: an offline, feasibility study.

Journal of neural engineering
The efficacy of an adopted feature extraction method directly affects the classification of the electromyographic (EMG) signals in myoelectric control applications. Most methods attempt to extract the dynamics of the multi-channel EMG signals in the ...

Emerging of new bioartificial corticospinal motor synergies using a robotic additional thumb.

Scientific reports
It is likely that when using an artificially augmented hand with six fingers, the natural five plus a robotic one, corticospinal motor synergies controlling grasping actions might be different. However, no direct neurophysiological evidence for this ...

Cutaneous Ionogel Mechanoreceptors for Soft Machines, Physiological Sensing, and Amputee Prostheses.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Touch sensing has a central role in robotic grasping and emerging human-machine interfaces for robot-assisted prosthetics. Although advancements in soft conductive polymers have promoted the creation of diverse pressure sensors, these sensors are dif...

A Subvision System for Enhancing the Environmental Adaptability of the Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Visual information is indispensable to human locomotion in complex environments. Although amputees can perceive the environmental information by eyes, they cannot transmit the neural signals to prostheses directly. To augment human-prosthesis interac...

Optimal strategy of sEMG feature and measurement position for grasp force estimation.

PloS one
Grasp force estimation based on surface electromyography (sEMG) is essential for the dexterous control of a prosthetic hand. Nowadays, although increasing the number of sEMG measurement positions and extracting more features are common methods to inc...

Activities of daily living with bionic arm improved by combination training and latching filter in prosthesis control comparison.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Advanced prostheses can restore function and improve quality of life for individuals with amputations. Unfortunately, most commercial control strategies do not fully utilize the rich control information from residual nerves and musculatur...

User training for machine learning controlled upper limb prostheses: a serious game approach.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Upper limb prosthetics with multiple degrees of freedom (DoFs) are still mostly operated through the clinical standard Direct Control scheme. Machine learning control, on the other hand, allows controlling multiple DoFs although it requir...

Application of machine learning to the identification of joint degrees of freedom involved in abnormal movement during upper limb prosthesis use.

PloS one
To evaluate movement quality of upper limb (UL) prosthesis users, performance-based outcome measures have been developed that examine the normalcy of movement as compared to a person with a sound, intact hand. However, the broad definition of "normal...
