Cascaded Adaptation Framework for Fast Calibration of Myoelectric Control

In spite of several decades of intensive research and development, the existing algorithms of myoelectric pattern recognition (MPR) are yet to make significant clinical and commercial impact. This study focuses on the one of the limiting factors of current algorithms: degradation of algorithm performance due to the inherent non-stationarity in electromyography (EMG) signals and the consequent need for frequent re-training and re-calibration. In...
