Real-Time and Offline Performance of Pattern Recognition Myoelectric Control Using a Generic Electrode Grid With Targeted Muscle Reinnervation Patients

Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a surgical technique that creates myoelectric prosthesis control sites for high-level amputees. The electromyographic (EMG) signal patterns provided by the reinnervated muscles are well-suited for pattern recognition control. Pattern recognition allows for control of a greater number of degrees of freedom (DOF) than the conventional, EMG amplitude-based approach. Previous pattern recognition studies have...
