Body-Coupled Communication for Wireless Myoelectric Control of Prosthetic Arms Ghent University
There are approximately 4.5 million amputees in the USA and the EU combined and this number is expected to increase. Consequently, there have been innovations in neuro-prosthetic limbs that led to the development of smart prosthetics, including bionic arms. These devices require connections to several on-body sensors and actuators in order to function properly. This communication is preferably wireless in order to improve patient’s comfort. ...
