It is the stuff of sci-fi.” The device uses wireless EMG electrodes called MyoPods that sit on top of an amputee’s arm and read their muscle signals. These signals are then used to command the ...

To get a maximum freedom of movement and a minimum interference to the human arm system, the measuring will be based on EMG-data. The design and set up of such a system is the goal of this work.

Combining two different kinds of signals could help engineers build prosthetic limbs that better reproduce natural movements, according to a new study. A combination of electromyography and force ...

EMG-based controls perform well in a lab setting and with limbs at rest. But there is a well-known problem of "position and load." If you move your arm to a different position -- say, shoulder ...
