Synergistic Elbow Control for a Myoelectric Transhumeral Prosthesis.

This paper presents a control approach for a myoelectric transhumeral prostheses that supplements a typical two-site electromyograms (EMG) input with the inertial measurement of arm motion. The inertial measurement is employed to: 1) provide synergistic movement between the prosthetic elbow joint and intact upper arm and 2) to switch control between the myoelectric elbow and hand. In order to asse...
