Incremental myocontrol allows an upper-limb amputee to reliably control a dexterous prosthetic hand. A new assessment tool, SATMC, supported user progress and satisfaction over a 13-month study.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Rehabilitation Technology
- Machine Learning in Prosthetics
Background:
- High abandonment rates of machine-learning prosthetics due to training and reliability issues.
- Incremental myocontrol offers on-demand system updates and continuous user interaction.
- A long-term study assessing incremental myocontrol efficacy was lacking due to inadequate tools.
