    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Technology
    • Prosthetics and Orthotics

    Background:

    • Multifunctional hand prostheses offer advanced capabilities but often require extensive user training.
    • Pattern recognition techniques present a promising approach to simplify prosthesis control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a miniaturized control system for a multifunctional hand prosthesis using pattern recognition.
    • To assess the system's effectiveness with minimal training for amputees.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a complete, miniaturized pattern recognition-based control system.
    • Clinical trial involving four amputee patients.
    • Evaluation using an objective computer test and an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) test.

    Main Results:

    • High correct recognition rates were achieved immediately after prosthesis application.
    • The ADL test indicated that forearm rotation, wrist flexion, and extension are primary movements utilized.
    • Few compensatory movements were observed, suggesting intuitive control.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed pattern recognition control system is feasible for multifunctional hand prostheses.
    • Minimal training periods are necessary for amputees to effectively use the system.
    • The system facilitates intuitive control and integration into daily activities.
