Control Strategies for a Multiple Degree of Freedom Prosthetic Hand
نویسنده
چکیده
Some of the traditional methods used to control a conventional prosthetic device are described alongside the current state of new control techniques and how they may progress. The review includes implantable myoelectric sensors and describes the potential of connecting directly to the peripheral nervous system. Control methods are then deduced for each technique, where the application is a six degrees of freedom hand having integral slip, force and temperature sensors.

Pattern recognition strategies have been explored for prosthetic hand control for over 20 years, but have not been commercially implemented. [1] Articulated research hands now rival human hand articulation, presenting new control challenges. Because no methods of processing signals of any source (cortical, peripheral nerve or myoelectric) are currently capable of delivering joint angle intent, ...
متن کاملDeveloping a Brain- Machine Interface for Dexterous Control of an Upper-limb Neuroprosthesis
A Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) uses electrophysiological measures of brain activity to communicate with external devices, bypassing normal neuromuscular pathways. Earlier research has demonstrated the robust coding capacity of neural activity for gross motor movements such as hand and arm trajectory, and opened up the possibility of a BMI for direct neural control of a prosthetic limb and the ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Robust Implementation of an EMG Pattern Recognition based Control
Control of active hand prostheses is an open challenge. In fact, the advances in mechatronics made available prosthetic hands with multiple active degrees of freedom; however the predominant control strategies are still not natural for the user, enabling only few gestures, thus not exploiting the prosthesis potential. Pattern recognition and machine learning techniques can be of great help when...
متن کاملControl of a Multi-finger Prosthetic Hand
Our novel prosthetic hand is controlled by extrinsic flexor muscles and tendons of the metacarpal-phalangeal joints. The hand uses tendon-activated pneumatic (TAP) control and has provided most subjects, including amputees and those with congenital limb absence, control of multiple fingers of the hand. The TAP hand restores a degree of natural control over force, duration, and coordination of m...
متن کاملCan We Achieve Intuitive Prosthetic Elbow Control Based on Healthy Upper Limb Motor Strategies?
Most transhumeral amputees report that their prosthetic device lacks functionality, citing the control strategy as a major limitation. Indeed, they are required to control several degrees of freedom with muscle groups primarily used for elbow actuation. As a result, most of them choose to have a one-degree-of-freedom myoelectric hand for grasping objects, a myoelectric wrist for pronation/supin...
