IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine's unique aim is to publish original work in the intersection of engineering and clinical translation. The journal's focus is interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers, healthcare providers, and industry and aims to publish results and best practices from these translational efforts.
Todd A. Kuiken (M’99–SM’07) received his MD and Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Northwestern University (1990) and completed his residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC, 1995). Dr. Kuiken is currently the Director of the Center for Bionic Medicine at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. He is a Professor in the Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Biomedical Engineering and Surgery at Northwestern University.
Myoelectric prostheses use surface electromyography (EMG) signals to control motorized artificial limb movement and are clinically available to patients with upper extremity amputation. Recent developments in advanced prosthetic arm systems offer the mechanical means to provide life-like artificial limb control....

With existing conventional prosthesis control (direct control), individuals with a transradial amputation use two opposing muscle groups to control each prosthesis motor. As component complexity increases, subjects must switch the prosthesis into different modes to control each component in sequence....
