Simultaneous and proportional control of 2D wrist movements with myoelectric signals

Previous approaches for extracting real-time proportional control information simultaneously for multiple degree of Freedom(DoF) from the electromyogram (EMG) often used non-linear methods such as the multilayer perceptron (MLP). In this pilot study we show that robust control is also possible with conventional linear regression if EMG power measures are available for a large number of electrodes. In particular, we show that it is possible to...
