Means and Methods of the Upper Limbs Prostheses Control

In this article means and methods of upper limb prostheses control are described. The analysis of merits and demerits of the invasive systems of registration of signals that control artificial limbs is carried out. The new technology of high-resolution electromyography (EMG HR) is described. The complexity of obtaining a signal without movement artifacts is considered as the main problem of non-invasive EMG HR. The possible ways of applying the EMG HR systems for rehabilitation, optimization of electrodes placement and reducing their quantity during the fitting process of upper limb prosthesis are proposed. The possibility of using dynamic forecasting of prosthesis movements in real time in EMG HR systems and improvement of intuitive control of the upper limb prostheses is highlighted.Ref. 23, fig. 8.
