Current Trends and Confounding Factors in Myoelectric Control: Limb Position and Contraction Intensity.

ABSTRACT: This manuscript presents a hybrid study of a comprehensive review and a systematic(research) analysis. Myoelectric control is the cornerstone ofmany assistive technologies used in clinicalpractice, such as prosthetics and orthoses, and human-computer interaction, such as virtual reality control.Although the classification accuracy of such devices exceeds 90% in a controlled laboratory setting,myoelectric devices still face challenges in robustness to variability of daily living conditions.The intrinsic physiological mechanisms limiting practical implementations of myoelectric deviceswere explored: the limb position effect and the contraction intensity effect. The degradationof electromyography (EMG) pattern recognition in the presence of these factors was demonstratedon six datasets, where
