Clinical Evaluation of Intuitive, Bidirectional Strategies for the Control of Multi-articulated Prostheses for Upper Limb Amputation

The intervention includes an upper limb prosthesis composed at the minimum by skin-surface electrodes for myoelectric signals, a vibrotactile actuator, a multi-articulated and instrumented hand prosthesis and a centralized control system. The centralized prosthetic controller processes the myoelectric signals acquired at the residual limb to enable the movements on the multi-articulated prosthesis.
