The myoelectric hand is an artificial prosthetic that is controlled by electromyographic (EMG) signals from muscle contractions in the user's upper limb stump.
Controlling the device requires two different signals, and identifying the optimal placement of electrodes to capture these signals can be time-consuming.
The study focuses on creating a system that can efficiently determine the best electrode positions using a band-type multi-electrode setup, which has been validated for effectively controlling a myoelectric hand for upper limb amputees.
