Differences in quality of movements made with body-powered and myoelectric prostheses during activities of daily living

摘要

Background: Upper limb prostheses likely do not enable movements having the same kinematic characteristics as anatomical limbs. The quality of movements made using body-powered and myoelectric prostheses may further differ based on the availability of sensory feedback and method of terminal device actuation. The purpose of this work was to compare the quality of movements made with body-powered and myoelectric prostheses during activities of daily living.
