Current prosthesis command interfaces only allow for a single degree of freedom to be
commanded at a time, making coordinated motion difficult to achieve. Thus it becomes …

The number of degrees of freedom in prosthetic devices today is greater than the number of
available electromyographic signals from the residual limb. This potentially causes complex …

Synergies have been adopted in prosthetic limb applications to reduce the complexity of
design, but typically involve a single synergy setting for a population and ignore individual …

Limb-driven control allows for direct control by using residual limb movements rather than
unnatural and complex muscle activation. Existing limb-driven methods simultaneously …

Synergistic prostheses enable the coordinated movement of the human-prosthetic arm, as
required by activities of daily living. This is achieved by coupling the motion of the prosthesis …

Controlling multi-joint prostheses intuitively and effortlessly has been a research topic since
the appearance of the first electric elbow prostheses. Researchers mainly focused on single …

Due to the limitations of myoelectric control (such as dependence on muscular fatigue and
on electrodes shift, difficulty in decoding complex patterns or in dealing with simultaneous …

Recent advances in mechatronics and robotics have led to the production of prostheses with
a growing number of active degrees of freedom (DoFs). Unfortunately, the gap is growing …

Upper limb prostheses can greatly improve the condition of amputees. However, prosthetic
mechanisms have different topologies and there is no consensus on the choice of an …

Recent advances in upper limb prostheses have led to significant improvements in the
number of movements provided by the robotic limb. However, the method for controlling …
