Assessment of an Automatic Prosthetic Elbow Control Strategy Using Residual Limb Motion for Transhumeral Amputated Individuals With Socket or Osseointegrated Prostheses

Most transhumeral amputated individuals deplore the lack of functionality of their prosthesis due to control-related limitations. Commercialized prosthetic elbows are controlled via myoelectric signals, yielding complex control schemes when users have to control an entire prosthetic limb. Limited control causes the development of compensatory strategies. An alternative control strategy associates residual limb motions to automatize the...
