Adaptive sliding mode and integral sliding mode grasped object slip prevention controllers
are implemented for a prosthetic hand and compared to a proportional derivative shear force …

In recent years, there has been a steep rise in the quality of prostheses for patients with
upper limb amputations. Researchers have begun to identify methods of making prosthetic …

In recent years, there has been a steep rise in the quality of prostheses for patients with
upper limb amputations. One common control method, using electromyographic (EMG) …

Internal models allow unimpaired individuals to appropriately scale grip force when
grasping and lifting familiar objects. In prosthesis users, the internal model must adapt to the …

Recent surveys from upper limb amputees indicate the sentiment that prosthetic hands do
not function in a life-like manner and are not intuitively controlled. Thus, two methods of …

Background: Upper limb amputees have no direct sense of the grip force applied by a
prosthetic hand; thus, precise control of the applied grip force is difficult for amputees. Since …

The success of grasping and manipulation tasks of commercial prosthetic hands is mainly
related to amputee visual feedback since they are not provided either with tactile sensors or …

To improve the control effectiveness and make the prosthetic hand not only controllable but
also perceivable, an EMG prosthetic hand control strategy was proposed in this paper. The …

In a partially impaired anthropomorphic hand, maintaining the movement coordination of the
robotic digits with the central nervous system (CNS) and natural digits is crucial for robust …

Upper limb amputees have expressed the desire for their prosthetic hands to better adapt to
the parameters of different grasped objects. In response to this need, an adaptive sliding …
