musclecontrolled
Musclecontrolled is a term used to describe systems and interfaces whose operation is directed by voluntary muscle activity. These systems rely on signals produced by muscle fibers during contraction, most commonly measured with electromyography (EMG). The term can apply to prosthetics, assistive devices, and computer interfaces that translate muscle signals into commands.
How it works: Sensors capture muscle activity, typically surface EMG electrodes placed on the skin above targeted
Applications and impact: In prosthetics, musclecontrolled devices enable more natural manipulation of artificial limbs and improved
Advantages and challenges: Advantages include intuitive control for many users and the potential for high information
