Control of upper limb prosthes

• Bodypowered VC, VO

• Cineplasty control

• Myoelectric control

• Research methods

– Pattern recognition of EMG signals

– Targeted Reinnervation

– Control using information from the peripheral nervoussystem

– Control using information from the central nervoussystem


Bodypowered prosthesis

• Harness over shoulders

• Voluntary closing /opening

2017-09-07

Myoelectric control I

• One site

• Two site

• Pattern recognition (research)


One (single) site control – single function

Two (dual) site control – single function


Two (dual) site control – dual function

Research into control of prosthetic hands

• Limitations of conventional control schemes:

– One function at a time (sequential)

– Limited grasp types (open / close) even with new hands

– No real force control

• Pattern recognition algorithm/ Machine learning methods

– Set of inputs (EMG signals, usually multiple channels 8-16)

– Set of targets (Usually different grasps)

– Algorithm finds a function that discriminates patterns of EMG activity into different grasps


Pattern recognition based control : surface EMG

Targeted reinnervation

• Target muscle deinnervated

• Target muscle reinnervated nerves going to muscles in the no longer existing limb.

T. A. Kuiken, L. A. Miller, R. D. Lipschutz, B. A. Lock, K. Stubblefield, P. D. Marasco, P. Zhou, and G. A. Dumanian. Targeted reinnervation for enhanced prosthetic arm function in a woman with a proximal amputation: a case study. Lancet, 369:371-380, 2007.

Invasive control : EMG

• Epimysial electrodes

• Intramuscular electrodes

Invasive control : interfacing with the PNS

Rossini, “Decoding information from neural signals recorded using intraneural electrodes: Toward the development of a neurocontrolled hand prosthesis,” Proc. IEEE, vol. 98, no. 3, pp. 407–417, Mar. 2010.
