Abstract

The conventional myoelectric control scheme of hand prostheses provides a high level of robustness during continuous use. Typically, the electrical activity of an agonist/antagonist muscle pair in the forearm is detected and used to control either opening/closing or rotation of the prosthetic hand. The translation of more sophisticated control approaches (e.g. regression-based classifiers) to clinical practice is limited mainly because of their lack of robustness in real-world conditions (e.g. due to different arm positions). We therefore explore a new hybrid approach, in which a second degree of freedom (DOF) controlled by the myoelectric activity of the posterior auricular muscles is added to the conventional forearm control. With this, an independent, simultaneous and proportional control of rotation and opening/closing of the hand is possible.
