Digital Controller for Artificial Limbs fed by Implanted Neuromuscular Interfaces via Osseointegration
Other conference contribution, 2016

Although the development of bioelectrically controlled upper limb prosthesis started in the 1970’s, the majority of amputees do not use this technology due to its poor functionality, reliability and comfort. This study is based on the previous work conducted by Ortiz-Catalan, Håkansson, and Brånemark, who developed a permanent bidirectional interface into the human body, namely the Osseointegrated Human-Machine Gateway (OHMG). The aim of this study was to develop an Artificial Limb Controller (ALC) that decodes motor volition and provides sensory feedback using the OHMG.
