myoelectric control

Myoelectric control is a technology that allows individuals with amputations or limb differences to operate prosthetic limbs using their own muscle signals. When a person contracts specific muscles, electrical signals are generated. Myoelectric sensors capture these signals and translate them into movements for the prosthetic device, enabling users to perform tasks like grasping or lifting. This technology offers a more intuitive way to control prosthetics, enhancing functionality and improving the user's quality of life, as it mimics natural limb movement by responding to the user's muscle intentions.
