Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroprosthetics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Conventional transradial prostheses use sequential myoelectric control, limiting users to one degree of freedom (DoF) at a time via two electrode sites.
  • Rapid electromyography (EMG) co-activation toggles control between DoFs, resulting in restricted functionality for prosthesis users.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a regression-based EMG control method for simultaneous and proportional control of two DoFs in a virtual environment.
  • To automate electrode site selection for improved myoelectric control efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a regression-based EMG control system enabling simultaneous and proportional control of two DoFs.
  • Automated electrode site selection using a brief (90-second) calibration period without force feedback, utilizing backward stepwise selection from 16 potential sites.
  • Tested two 2-DoF controllers ('Intuitive' and 'Mapping') with 11 able-bodied and 4 limb-absent subjects on virtual target matching and static target tasks.

Main Results:

  • Both 2-DoF controllers, using 6 optimally selected electrodes, demonstrated statistically significant improvements in target matching performance (number of matches and throughput) compared to sequential control across all subjects (p<0.001).
  • No significant performance differences were observed between using 6 and 12 optimally-sited electrodes for the 2-DoF controllers.
  • While performance metrics like number of matches and throughput improved, overshoot rate and path efficiency did not show statistically significant differences.

Conclusions:

  • The developed regression-based EMG control method enables simultaneous and proportional control of two DoFs, significantly enhancing functional performance in virtual tasks.
  • Automated electrode site selection is feasible and effective, reducing calibration time and improving control system efficiency.
  • These findings support the viability of implementing advanced 2-DoF simultaneous, proportional myoelectric control for transradial prostheses.
