Description:: A need exists to increase the functionality of myoelectric prostheses without increasing the mental requirement of operation. Implantable myoelectric sensors have made it possible to record multiple muscle activities with high fidelity. Given this high dimensionality of inputs, what is the best way of implementing control? Muscle synergies have been...

Description:: Intramuscular electromyograms (EMG) are believed to provide several potential advantages over surface EMG for multifunctional myoelectric prosthesis control. One example is the ability to focally record from deep muscles of the forearm. However, intramuscular EMG has rarely been investigated due to the inability to obtain chronic recordings. New technology is...

Description:: Commercially available electrically powered prosthetic elbows are stiff and unyielding. Making these artificial limb replacements more closely mimic human elbows by increasing their compliance may be beneficial. In addition to having increased compliance compared with current electrically powered prosthetic elbows, humans modulate the overall impedance of their joints. The author...
