Toward Cyborg: Exploring Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of a Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Myoelectric Prosthetic Hand.

ABSTRACT: Recent advancements in robotics and sensor technology have facilitated the development of myoelectric prosthetic hands (MPHs) featuring multiple degrees of freedom and heightened functionality, but their practical application has been limited. In response to this situation, formulating a control theory ensuring the hand dexterity of highly functional MPHs has garnered marked attention. Progress in this field has been directed toward employing machine-learning algorithms to process electromyogram patterns, enabling a broad spectrum of hand movements. In particular, the practical application of 5-finger-driven MPHs with such control functions to real users remains limited, and their attributes and challenges have not been thoroughly examined. In this study, we developed a 5-finger MPH equipp
