Description:: Movement is achieved by combining synaptic inputs from various sources and activating motor unit populations. Motor units are the quantal elements of motor control which act as a neuromechanical transducer that converts sensory inputs into motor output. Because of the tight neuromuscular junctions between motoneuron axon terminals and a large...

Description:: A need exists to increase the functionality of myoelectric prostheses without increasing the mental requirement of operation. Implantable myoelectric sensors have made it possible to record multiple muscle activities with high fidelity. Given this high dimensionality of inputs, what is the best way of implementing control? Muscle synergies have been...

Description:: Intramuscular electromyograms (EMG) are believed to provide several potential advantages over surface EMG for multifunctional myoelectric prosthesis control. One example is the ability to focally record from deep muscles of the forearm. However, intramuscular EMG has rarely been investigated due to the inability to obtain chronic recordings. New technology is...
