X Abstract

The integration of multiple input sources within a control strategy for powered upper limb prostheses could provide smoother, more intuitive multi-joint reaching movements based on the users intended motion. The work presented in this paper presents the results of using myoelectric signals (MES) of the shoulder area in combination with the position of the shoulder as input sources to multiple linear discriminant analysis classifiers. Such an approach may provide users with control signals capable of controlling three degrees of freedom (DOF). This work is another important step in the development of hybrid systems that will enable simultaneous control of multiple degrees of freedom used for reaching tasks in a prosthetic limb.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
