This study introduces a new training protocol using an EMG-based human-machine interface (HMI) to improve virtual prosthesis embodiment in amputees. The method successfully enhanced adaptation and acceptance of prosthetic limbs.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Human-Computer Interaction
Background:
- Effective prosthesis embodiment is crucial for amputees' adaptation and acceptance of prosthetic limbs.
- Current preprosthetic rehabilitation often lacks methods to induce and enhance prosthesis embodiment.
- Virtual reality and myoelectric interfaces offer potential for novel rehabilitation strategies.
