Evaluating upper-limb EMG-prosthesis user performance by combining psychometric measures and classification-rates

The robustness of myo-electric prosthesis usage is largely influenced by user performance, where psychological factors (i.e. cognitive-skills, motor-skills and psychological status - such as motivation, will, and stress) play a prominent role. These factors become more important the more degrees of freedom (DOF) a multifunctional prosthesis provides. Despite the large amount of research efforts during the past decades on developing robust...
