Semi-automated control system for reaching movements in EMG shoulder disarticulation prosthesis based on mixed reality device
Shunta Togo, Kazuaki Matsumoto, Susumu Kimizuka, Yinlai Jiang, Hiroshi Yokoi
Goal: The development of a control system for an electromyographic shoulder disarticulation (EMG-SD) prosthesis to rapidly achieve a task with a reduction in the operational failure of the user. Methods: The motion planning of an EMG-SD prosthesis was automated using... Read more

Task-space Synergies for Reaching using Upper-limb Prostheses
Ricardo Garcia-Rosas, Denny Oetomo, Chris Manzie, Ying Tan, Peter Choong
Synergistic prostheses enable the coordinated movement of the human-prosthetic arm, as required by activities of daily living. This is achieved by coupling the motion of the prosthesis to the human command, such as the residual limb movement in motion-based interfaces... Read more

Correlates of Residual Limb Pain: From Residual Limb Length and Usage to Metabolites and Activity in Secondary Somatosensory Cortex
Xiaoli Guo, Yuanyuan Lyu, Zhuo Wang, Yao Li, Jianbo Xiang, Changjie Pan, Herta Flor, Shanbao Tong
    Most recent studies attribute residual limb pain to peripheral pathological changes of the stump. However, in this paper, we focus on its associations with the residual limb length, usage, as well as the metabolic and functional alterations of the brain.... Read more
