The force feedback is delivered through a single-axis exoskeleton worn about the elbow, while the EMG signal is derived from the biceps muscle. This combination is intended to produce a sense of effort in the biceps that is associated with the action of the motorized prosthetic gripper. The method engages both efferent and afferent signals innervating a functional muscle with the aim of realizing a muscle that is effectively biarticular. The controlling muscle spans one joint physiologically and a second, prosthetic joint functionally. Preliminary experiments have demonstrated that force feedback can substitute for vision during grasp and lift tasks. | Funding Details: | Science Foundation Ireland | Type of material: | Conference Publication | Publisher: | IEEE | Copyright (published version): | 2009 IEEE | Keywords: | Myoelectric control; Prosthetics; Haptic feedback | Subject LCSH: | Myoelectric prosthesis Haptic devices |
