| Abstract: | This study presents complete design of a
myoelectric arm with proportional grip force feature. Electronic assembly of
the arm consists of the analog and digital signal processing and a control circuit.
EMG signal from residual stump of patient is picked up by surface electrodes,
amplified and an artifacts free signal is digitized in a controlled manner so
that minimum signal loss occurs during processing. Mechanical assembly consists
of a screw arrangement connected to a low power DC motor and gear assembly to
open or close the hand. Wrist is rotated in a direction suitable to pick up the
objects. |
