title: A wireless telemetry system for training users of upper limb prostheses.
abstract: Telemetry from prosthetic systems is useful in aiding the users and clinical team in setting up and training and monitoring in the use of a prosthesis. The different forms are discussed and a new radio frequency based telemetry system is described. This system uses a computer to display the data and a video mixer to place the information on the same screen as the image of the user so that their actions and control signals can be simultaneously recorded for later study.
