Myoelectric prostheses usually work with electrodes placed on the skin, which pick up electrical signals from muscle contractions and forward them to an electronics module, ...

Bert Harman, CEO of Otto Bock Americas, talks about the current state of bionics--and getting nerves to talk to artificial limbs.

Biomechatronics Development Laboratory | University of Colorado at BoulderInventor and Chief ScientistFor my doctoral dissertation, I developed a novel myoelectric control algorithm that allows for ...

Regular use of the prosthesis was reported in 100% of patients in the myoelectric prosthesis group vs. 29% of patients with a traditional prosthesis, according to results.

[Photo: courtesy Atom Limbs] Some other more advanced prosthetics have recently been developed called myoelectric prostheses. They also use electrodes, but require a user to flex their muscles to ...

An advanced myoelectric prosthetic approach from University of Michigan engineers and clinicians offers real-time, intuitive, long-term mind control of prosthetic hands.
