Combining signals could make for better control of prosthetics

Combining two different kinds of signals could help engineers build prosthetic limbs that better reproduce natural movements, according to a new study from the University of California, Davis. The work, published April 10 in PLOS One, shows that a combination of electromyography and force myography is more accurate at predicting hand movements than either method by itself.

Hand gestures such as gripping, pinching and grasping are driven by movements of muscles in our forearm. These movements…
