As a definition, Human–Machine Interface (HMI) enables a person to interact with a device.
Starting from elementary equipment, the recent development of novel techniques and …

Muscles are the actuators of all human actions, from daily work and life to communication
and expression of emotions. Myography records the signals from muscle activities as an …

Measurement of muscle contraction is mainly achieved through electromyography (EMG)
and is an area of interest for many biomedical applications, including prosthesis control and …

Human machine interfaces (HMIs) are employed in a broad range of applications, spanning
from assistive devices for disability to remote manipulation and gaming controllers. In this …

Hand prostheses partially restore hand appearance and functionalities. In particular, 3D
printers have provided great opportunities by simplifying the manufacturing process and …

The aim of this study is to implement the clinical use of the three-dimensional (3D) design
and printing technology in pediatric pathologies requiring immobilization. We describe the …

The actual grip force provided by a hand prosthesis is an important parameter to evaluate its
efficiency. To this end, a split cylindrical handlebar embedding a single-axis load cell was …

Active hand prostheses are usually controlled by electromyography (EMG) signals acquired
from few muscles available in the residual limb. In general, it is necessary to estimate the …

The article proposes the development of an innovative prototype of smart orthosis with a fully
integrated multi-electrodes matrix for electromyography (EMG), to improve non-invasive …

Muscle contraction is often detected via EMG in prosthetics. However, signal disturbances
due to electrode motions can lead to misinterpretations. Therefore, alternative measurement …
