PROSTHESIS-GUIDED TRAINING INCREASES FUNCTIONAL WEAR TIME AND IMPROVES TOLERANCE TO MALFUNCTIONING INPUTS OF PATTERN RECOGNITION-CONTROLLED PROSTHESES

A remaining barrier to the clinical accessibility of pattern recognition systems is the lack of practical methods to acquire the myoelectric signals required to train the system. Many current methods involve screen-guided training (SGT), where wearers connected to an external computer perform muscle contractions synchronized with a sequence of visual cues. The system complexity prevents easy retraining when signal conditions change. We have...
