[Possibilities of myoelectric control of artificial limb prostheses].
This article summarizes the main possibilities for myoelectrical control of prostheses and other rehabilitation devices. In this context fundamental cybernetic aspects, the question of achieving optimal differentiation of antagonistic signals, and 16 possibilities of myoelectrical control, ranging from simple n-state threshold detectors to rate sensitive controllers, to intelligent controllers and pattern recognition techniques, are considered.
