ANALYSIS WINDOW INDUCED CONTROLLER DELAY FOR MULTIFUNCTIONAL PROSTHESES

prosthesis controllers analyze fixed segments of EMG data collected from the residual musculature in an attempt to discern the intended movement of the user. However, many researchers have designed controllers with little or no regard for the delay the controller will introduce when operated in real-time. If the delay is too large the prosthesis will feel sluggish and performance will suffer. Several attributes of the classifier affect the delay...
