    Summary

    Limb position impacts myoelectric control accuracy, but advanced training methods improve robustness for upper-limb amputees, even under load. Results from intact limbs may not generalize to amputees.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Robotics
    • Neuroprosthetics

    Background:

    • Limb position affects myoelectric pattern recognition accuracy.
    • Previous studies lacked physical prostheses and varied loads, leaving a gap in understanding real-time control for upper-limb amputees.
    • The influence of limb position and external load on real-time control for amputees remains unclear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effects of limb position and external load on real-time pattern recognition control in upper-limb amputees and intact limb subjects.
    • To investigate how different control system training methods (static vs. dynamic) influence these effects.
    • To compare the generalizability of findings from intact limb subjects to amputee subjects.

    Main Methods:

    • A virtual reality target achievement control test was employed.
    • Fourteen intact limb subjects and six upper limb amputee subjects participated.
    • Two training methods were used: static (unloaded arm by side) and dynamic (arm movement with load).

    Main Results:

    • Static training showed limb position significantly affected control in all subjects.
    • Amputee subjects adequately completed tasks across conditions, even with untrained limb positions.
    • Increasing external loads decreased controller performance, with a lesser impact on amputees.
    • Dynamic training eliminated limb position effects in amputees for most measures but did not mitigate load effects for either group.

    Conclusions:

    • Intact limb subject results may not generalize to amputee populations.
    • Advanced dynamic training methods significantly enhance controller robustness to limb position variations, irrespective of limb loading.
    • Dynamic training offers a promising avenue for improving real-time myoelectric control in upper-limb amputees.
