Differences in EMG Feature Space between Able-Bodied and Amputee Subjects for Myoelectric Control

Difficulties accessing amputee populations has resulted in the widespread adoption of able-bodied subjects in virtual environments for the development of myoelectric prostheses. Factors such as scar tissue, different physiologies or surgical outcomes, and reduced visual and proprioceptive feedback, however, may contribute to differences in electromyogram (EMG) patterns between these groups. As such, studies have consistently found worse results...
