Controlling an artificial arm with foot movements

NEUROREHABIL NEURAL REPAIR , 2000, vol. 14, n° 3, p. 207-212 Doc n°: 99198 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : EC154 - PROTHESE FONCTIONNELLE - MEMBRE SUPERIEUR A history of prosthesis control techniques is outlined. An alternative approach to hand and arm prosthesis control is proposed, and a working-prototype model is described. Commercial artificial limbs have function limited by a small number of user-interface control channels, and they are awkward to operate because joints are turned on and off in a serial fashion and not in parallel. Because of natural anatomic and physiologic similarities between the upper and lower extremities, the foot and leg is an ideal control interface. A stocking laced with multiple sensors can provide input on multiple joint positions, and this information used to control homologous movements in a prosthetic upper extremity. One significant advantage of this form of control is simultaneous activation of multiple joints. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2001215133 |
