Study of Efficacy of the MyoTrain System in a Population of Individuals With Trans-radial Limb Loss

MyoTrain is a virtual prosthesis control training system. From a hardware perspective it consists of an Apple iPad tablet computer and an eight-channel EMG armband, based on the Element electrode platform, which interfaces with the tablet via Bluetooth™. From a software perspective, MyoTrain was developed in the cross-platform Unity 4.0 game development environment.

Motor imagery describes the process by which a prosthesis user mentally simulates the execution of a desired limb movement and activates the musculature of the residual limb that would generate the desired movement.
