Investigation of an EMG referenced control channel for grasp force supplementation

This work investigates the potential of using an air-muscle actuated orthosis controlled by an electromyographic (EMG) signal to reliably supplement the grasping force of the hand, thereby allowing the user to reduce the muscle activation required for a power-grasping task. In particular, the stu...
