Surface EMG suffices to classify the motion of each finger independently

Résumé fourni par la source

We introduce a learning method which can detect opening (extension) and closing (flexion) actions of all human fingers, as well as sideways movements (abduction/adduction) using lower arm surface EMG only.The method is shown to be used independently of the position of the arm.The method is ideally suited for the control of active prosthesis with a high number of active degrees of freedom.The method is successfully demonstrated on a robotic four-finger hand, and can be used to grasp objects.
