A Reliable Multi-User EMG Interface Based on A Generic-Musculoskeletal Model against Loading Weight Changes.

The reliability of myoelectric control is important to ensure the performance of prostheses during daily use. Recently, we proposed a multi-user neural-machine interface based on a generic musculoskeletal model to simultaneously and continuously estimate flexion/extension movements at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and wrist joints from surface electromyography (EMG) signals. Our previous results demonstrated that the multi-user EMG interface was reliable against upper limb posture changes.
