Myoelectric prosthesis for e.g. arm, has microcontroller to allow prosthesis body movement based on value of voltage created by muscle contraction, and information device to send signal, function of spacing between value and set point

摘要

The prosthesis has motors (7) to impart movement to a prosthesis body, and sensors (6) to sense a voltage created by the contraction of a muscle of body of a human being. A microcontroller (5) controls the motors to give movement of the body based on the voltage value. Information device sends an information signal, to the human being carrying the prosthesis, which is a function of the spacing between the value and a set point.
