英文摘要：

Multiarticulate bionic arms are now capable of mimicking the endogenous movements of the human hand. 3D-printing has reduced the cost of prosthetic hands themselves, but there is currently no low-cost alternative to dexterous electromyographic (EMG) control systems. To address this need, we developed an inexpensive (~$675) and portable EMG control system by integrating low-cost microcontrollers with an EMG acquisition device. We validated signal acquisition by comparing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of our system with that of a high-end research-grade system. We also demonstrate the ability to use the low-cost control system for proportional and independent control of various prosthetic hands in real-time. We found that the SNR of the low-cost control system was statistically no worse than 44% of the SNR of a research-grade control system. The RMSEs of predicted hand movements (from a modified Kalman filter) were typically a few percent better than, and not more than 6% worse than, RMSEs of a research-grade system for up to six degrees of freedom when only relatively few (six) EMG electrodes were used. However, RMSEs were generally higher than RMSEs of research-grade systems that utilize considerably more (32) EMG electrodes, guiding future work towards increasing electrode count. Successful instantiation of this low-cost control system constitutes an important step towards the commercialization and wide-spread availability of dexterous bionic hands.

Continuous Decoding of Daily-Life Hand Movements from Forearm Muscle Activity for Enhanced Myoelectric Control of Hand Prostheses

University Clinic Tübingen（蒂宾根大学医院）；International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems（马克斯·普朗克智能系统国际研究学院）

State-of-the-art motorized hand prostheses are endowed with actuators able to provide independent and proportional control of as many as six degrees of freedom (DOFs). The control signals are derived from residual electromyographic (EMG) activity, recorded concurrently from relevant forearm muscles. Nevertheless, the functional mapping between forearm EMG activity and hand kinematics is only known with limited accuracy. Therefore, no robust method exists for the reliable computation of control signals for the independent and proportional actuation of more than two DOFs. A common approach to de…

The Utility of Synthetic Reflexes and Haptic Feedback for Upper-Limb Prostheses in a Dexterous Task Without Direct Vision

Johns Hopkins School of Medicine（约翰斯·霍普金斯大学医学院）；Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems（马克斯·普朗克智能系统研究所）；Johns Hopkins University（约翰斯·霍普金斯大学）

Individuals who use myoelectric upper-limb prostheses often rely heavily on vision to complete their daily activities. They thus struggle in situations where vision is overloaded, such as multitasking, or unavailable, such as poor lighting conditions. Non-amputees can easily accomplish such tasks due to tactile reflexes and haptic sensation guiding their upper-limb motor coordination. Based on these principles, we developed and tested two novel prosthesis systems that incorporate autonomous controllers and provide the user with touch-location feedback through either vibration or distributed pr…

Multiresolution Dual-Polynomial Decomposition Approach for Optimized Characterization of Motor Intent in Myoelectric Control Systems

Chinese Academy of Sciences（中国科学院）；Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology（深圳先进技术研究院）

Surface electromyogram (sEMG) is arguably the most sought-after physiological signal with a broad spectrum of biomedical applications, especially in miniaturized rehabilitation robots such as multifunctional prostheses. The widespread use of sEMG to drive pattern recognition (PR)-based control schemes is primarily due to its rich motor information content and non-invasiveness. Moreover, sEMG recordings exhibit non-linear and non-uniformity properties with inevitable interferences that distort intrinsic characteristics of the signal, precluding existing signal processing methods from yielding r…

Bilaterally Mirrored Movements Improve the Accuracy and Precision of Training Data for Supervised Learning of Neural or Myoelectric Prosthetic Control

University of Utah（犹他大学）；Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab（约翰斯·霍普金斯应用物理实验室）；Ultrahaptics（Ultrahaptics（优触科技））

Intuitive control of prostheses relies on training algorithms to correlate biological recordings to motor intent. The quality of the training dataset is critical to run-time performance, but it is difficult to label hand kinematics accurately after the hand has been amputated. We quantified the accuracy and precision of labeling hand kinematics for two different approaches: 1) assuming a participant is perfectly mimicking predetermined motions of a prosthesis (mimicked training), and 2) assuming a participant is perfectly mirroring their contralateral hand during identical bilateral movements …

Haptic Shared Control Improves Neural Efficiency During Myoelectric Prosthesis Use

Johns Hopkins University（约翰斯·霍普金斯大学）；Drexel University（德雷塞尔大学）；University of Pennsylvania（宾夕法尼亚大学）；Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia（费城儿童医院）

Clinical myoelectric prostheses lack the sensory feedback and sufficient dexterity required to complete activities of daily living efficiently and accurately. Providing haptic feedback of relevant environmental cues to the user or imbuing the prosthesis with autonomous control authority have been separately shown to improve prosthesis utility. Few studies, however, have investigated the effect of combining these two approaches in a shared control paradigm, and none have evaluated such an approach from the perspective of neural efficiency (the relationship between task performance and mental ef…

Proprioceptive Sonomyographic Control: A novel method of intuitive proportional control of multiple degrees of freedom for upper-extremity amputees

George Mason University（乔治梅森大学）；Center for Adaptive Systems of Brain-Body Interactions（脑-体交互自适应系统中心）；Infinite Biomedical Technologies（无限生物医学技术公司）；MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital（MedStar国家康复医院）

Technological advances in multi-articulated prosthetic hands have outpaced the methods available to amputees to intuitively control these devices. Amputees often cite difficulty of use as a key contributing factor for abandoning their prosthesis, creating a pressing need for improved control technology. A major challenge of traditional myoelectric control strategies using surface electromyography electrodes has been the difficulty in achieving intuitive and robust proportional control of multiple degrees of freedom. In this paper, we describe a new control method, proprioceptive sonomyographic…

Dual-Modality Haptic Feedback Improves Dexterous Task Execution with Virtual EMG-Controlled Gripper

Johns Hopkins University（约翰斯·霍普金斯大学）

Upper-extremity amputees who use myoelectric prostheses currently lack the haptic sensory information needed to perform dexterous activities of daily living. While considerable research has focused on restoring this haptic information, these approaches often rely on single-modality feedback schemes which are necessary but insufficient for the feedforward and feedback control strategies employed by the central nervous system. Multi-modality feedback approaches have been gaining attention in several application domains, however, the utility for myoelectric prosthesis use remains unclear. In this…

Inexpensive surface electromyography sleeve with consistent electrode placement enables dexterous and stable prosthetic control through deep learning

University of Utah（犹他大学）

The dexterity of conventional myoelectric prostheses is limited in part by the small datasets used to train the control algorithms. Variations in surface electrode positioning make it difficult to collect consistent data and to estimate motor intent reliably over time. To address these challenges, we developed an inexpensive, easy-to-don sleeve that can record robust and repeatable surface electromyography from 32 embedded monopolar electrodes. Embedded grommets are used to consistently align the sleeve with natural skin markings (e.g., moles, freckles, scars). The sleeve can be manufactured i…

Automation of Prosthetic Upper Limbs for Transhumeral Amputees Using Switch-controlled Motors

National University of Science and Technology (NUST)（巴基斯坦国立科技大学）

The issues of research required in the field of bio medical engineering and externally-powered prostheses are attracting attention of regulatory bodies and the common people in various parts of the globe. Today, 90 percent of prostheses used are conventional body powered cable-controlled ones which are very uncomfortable to the amputees as fairly large amount of forces and excursions have to be generated by the amputee. Additionally, its amount of rotation is limited. Alternatively, prosthetic limbs driven using electrical motors might deliver added functionality and improved control, accompan…
