Anthropomorphic prosthesis control based on the electrical impedance signals analysis

Abstract

This work is dedicated neuromuscular interface, which is based on electrical impedance and surface electromyogram registered together. Active part of impedance is registered non-invasively using tetrapolar electrode system from a segment of the upper limb. Impedance signals are proportional to the movement's extent. In contrast to other techniques, this approach allows anthropomorphic bioelectric prosthesis control.
