Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Wearable Sensors

Background:

  • High-tech upper limb prostheses are costly and inaccessible to many amputees.
  • Current surface electromyography (sEMG) control methods are either inaccurate or cumbersome due to wiring.
  • There is a need for affordable, accessible, and user-friendly prosthetic control systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, circular, wireless sEMG array for improved prosthetic limb control.
  • To create an accessible, open-source, and 3D-printable alternative to commercial prostheses.
  • To enhance the accuracy and functionality of myoelectric prostheses.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a modular, circular, wireless sEMG array with distributed electrodes.
  • Integration of Bluetooth Low Energy, motion sensors, and a battery into the sEMG system.
  • Benchmarking the developed system against a commercial, wired sEMG device using 20 reference gestures.

Main Results:

  • The wireless sEMG array demonstrated high accuracy, with a Spearman correlation (r = 0.98, p < 0.01) compared to a commercial system.
  • Uncorrelated sEMG signal amplitudes across array nodes indicate independent information for enhanced gesture recognition.
  • A random forest classifier achieved 97% accuracy in distinguishing between 6 gestures using the developed system.

Conclusions:

  • The developed wireless sEMG array offers an accurate and effective solution for prosthetic limb control.
  • This technology has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for amputees by providing accessible, high-performance prosthetics.
  • The system's modularity and wireless nature overcome limitations of existing sEMG control methods.
