Improving Myoelectric Prosthetic and Orthotic Limb Control (NCT05509101)
Improving Myoelectric Prosthetic and Orthotic Limb Control Using Predictive Regression Algorithms and High-count Surface Electrodes
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to improve control of myoelectrically-controlled advanced orthotic devices (an exoskeleton device that use the body's muscle signals to drive movements of a robotic brace) by using advanced predictive decode algorithms, and the use of high count (\> 8) surface electromyographic (sEMG) electrodes.
