A simple movement based control approach to ease the control of a myoelectric elbow prosthetics in transhumeral amputees

Common myoelectric control strategy remains complex to use and produce unnatural gestures since it does not allow simultaneous movements of several joints. This is especially an issue for the transhumeral amputees who can use an active elbow in addition to active prosthetic wrist and hand. Since most transhumeral amputees have a mobile residual limb, an interesting approach aims at utilizing this mobility to control the elbow. We thus developed...
