myoelectric prosthesis

A myoelectric prosthesis is an advanced artificial limb that uses electrical signals from the muscles in a person's residual limb to control movement. When the user tries to move their muscle, sensors in the prosthesis detect these signals and translate them into actions, like opening or closing a hand or moving an arm. This technology allows for more natural and precise movements compared to traditional prosthetic devices. Myoelectric prostheses are often powered by batteries and can be customized to suit the needs of the user, enhancing both functionality and comfort in daily activities.
