A blinking periorbital prosthesis using surface electromyographic signals of the orbicularis oculi muscle

摘要

BackgroundRecent advances in human–machine interface technology have enabled the development of multifunctional, primarily orthopedic myoelectric prostheses. We developed a noninvasive blinking periorbital prosthesis that can synchronize with blinking of the intact eyelid by using surface electromyographic signals of the orbicularis oculi muscle.
