Lower-Limb Myoelectric Calibration Postures for Transtibial Prostheses

Lower-Limb Myoelectric Calibration Postures for Transtibial Prostheses 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
The use of an agonist-antagonist muscle pair for myoelectric control of a transtibial prosthesis requires normalizing the myoelectric signals and identifying their co-contraction signature. Extensive literature has explored the relationship… read more

Locomotor Adaptation by Transtibial Amputees Walking With an Experimental Powered Prosthesis Under Continuous Myoelectric Control

Author(s)3: Stephanie Huang, Jeffrey P. Wensman, Daniel P. Ferris
Locomotor Adaptation by Transtibial Amputees Walking With an Experimental Powered Prosthesis Under Continuous Myoelectric Control 780 435 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Lower limb amputees can use electrical activity from their residual muscles for myoelectric control of a powered prosthesis. The most common approach for myoelectric control is a finite state controller…
