Improving Myoelectric Prosthetic and Orthotic Limb Control

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hemiparesis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to improve control of myoelectrically-controlled advanced orthotic devices (an exoskeleton device that use the body's muscle signals to drive movements of a robotic brace) by using advanced predictive decode algorithms, and the use of high count (\> 8) surface electromyographic (sEMG) electrodes.
