EMG-SIGNAL:

• ONE SITE – ONE FUNCTION

• ONE SITE – TWO FUNCTION

• TWO SITES – TWO FUNCTIONS

• TWO SITES – FOUR FUNCTIONS



• ON-OFF CONTROL

• PROPORTIONAL CONTROL

• PATTERN RECOGNITION


MYO-ACOUSTICSMYO-ACOUSTICS

ADVANTAGES:

• NO NEED FOR DIRECT SKIN CONTACT

• UNAFFECTED BY CHANGES IN SKIN IMPEDANCE

• LESS AMPLIFICATION

• LESS SHIELDING

• LESS POSITION SENSITIVE

“Prostheses should act as a natural extension of the human body.

We pour ourselves out into them and assimilate them as parts of our own existence.”

CONTROL BY BODY MOVEMENTS:PROVIDES FEEDBACK!

CONTROL WITH MYO-SIGNALS:NO FEEDBACK!


“The EMG-signal is considered a by-product of a muscle contraction in a simular manner to considering the exhaust of a car as a manifestation of the engine’s rotation.”

Simpson, 1974


CONTROL OPTIONS WITH FEEDBACK:

• MOTION & FORCES OF THE BODY




• CINEPLASTY

SUMMARYSUMMARY

• CONTROL vs ACTUATION

• LIMITED # CONTROL SIGNALS

• CONTROL METHODS

• EXTENDED PHYSIOLOGIC PROPRIOCEPTION

• CONTROL METHODS with FEEDBACK


Concluding remarks


PROSTHESES:

• Many different types available

• Many end up not being used:

40% non-wearers

60% non-users

• Worldwide research efforts to improve prostheticperformance

• Focus of most research is wrong!


I want a prosthesis that:

• is beautiful

• is easy to wear

• is easy to operate


I want a prosthesis that:

• is beautiful = cosmesis

• is easy to wear = comfort

• is easy to operate = control

FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT!FEEDBACK IS VERY IMPORTANT!FEEDBACK IS A NECESSITY!


ARTIFICIAL FEEDBACK:

• ELECTRICAL SKIN STIMULATION

• MECHANICAL SKIN STIMULATION

• IMPLANTABLE NERVE STIMULATION

• INTERNAL FEEDBACK


CONTROL DEMANDS:

• FUNCTION = CONTROL SIGNAL

• NO INTERFERENCE

• LOW MENTAL LOAD

Remember Lindsey Wagner as the "Bionic Woman"?

Well, we have the new version... Claudia Mitchell ...and this one's for real.
