Abstract
Prosthetic hand control based on the acquisition
and processing of surface electromyography signals (sEMG) is a
well-established method that makes use of the electric potentials
evoked by the physiological contraction processes of one or more
muscles. Furthermore intelligent mobile medical devices are on
the brink of introducing safe and highly sophisticated systems to
help a broad patient community to regain a considerable amount
of life quality. The major challenges which are inherent in such
integrated system’s design are mainly to be found in obtaining a
compact system with a long mobile autonomy, capable of
delivering the required signal requirements for EMG based
prosthetic control with up to 32 simultaneous acquisition
channels and – with an eye on a possible future exploitation as a
medical device – a proper perspective on a low priced system.
Therefore, according to these requirements we present a wireless,
mobile platform for acquisition and communication of sEMG
signals embedded into a complete mobile control system
structure. This environment further includes a portable device
such as a laptop providing the necessary computational power
for the control and a commercially available robotic handprosthesis.
Means of communication among those devices are
based on the Bluetooth standard. We show, that the developed
low cost mobile device can be used for proper prosthesis control
and that the device can rely on a continuous operation for the
usual daily life usage of a patient.
