Development of a Multi-DOF Electromyography Prosthetic System Using the Adaptive Joint Mechanism

This paper describes an electrically powered prosthetic system controlled by electromyography (EMG) signal detected from the skin surface of the human body. The research of electrically powered prosthetic systems is divided into two main subjects. One is the design of the joint mechanism. We propose...
