    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Rehabilitation Robotics

    Background:

    • Electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal models are crucial for advanced prosthetic control.
    • Current models often rely on data-driven algorithms, limiting adaptability.
    • Restoring natural hand and wrist function remains a significant challenge in upper limb prosthetics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the feasibility of a novel, customizable, simplified EMG-driven musculoskeletal model.
    • To estimate coordinated hand and wrist motions in real-time during a path tracing task.
    • To assess the model's potential for controlling multifunctional myoelectric prostheses.

    Main Methods:

    • Implemented a two-degree-of-freedom computational musculoskeletal model for real-time EMG-driven control.
    • Subjects (able-bodied and one amputee) performed a virtual hand path tracing task after brief practice and calibration.
    • Collected data on tracing accuracy and speed, analyzing joint coordination patterns.

    Main Results:

    • A significant linear relationship was found between accuracy and speed across subjects.
    • The amputee subject demonstrated distinct motor control patterns, favoring metacarpophalangeal joint motion.
    • Able-bodied subjects showed reduced accuracy at the extremes of the model's range of motion.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed EMG-driven musculoskeletal model enables real-time, simultaneous control of multi-joint hand and wrist movements with minimal training.
    • The model's simplicity and effectiveness suggest its potential as a practical control platform for myoelectric prostheses.
    • Findings highlight differences in motor control between able-bodied individuals and amputees, potentially due to neural adaptations.
