title: Stiffness and position control of a prosthetic wrist by means of an EMG interface.
abstract: In this paper, we present a novel approach for decoding electromyographic signals from an amputee and for interfacing them with a prosthetic wrist. The model for the interface makes use of electromyographic signals from electrodes placed in agonistic and antagonistic sides of the forearm. The model decodes these signals in order to control both the position and the stiffness of the wrist.
