Abstract
It is important to evaluate the motor recovery effect of the amputee caused by using myoelectric hand from multiple evaluation criteria. In this paper, we evaluate amputee’s motor recovery by using adaptable myoelectric hand from the standpoint of brain function and clinical practice. As a result, we clarified that robust control ability of prosthetic hand activates the activity of the primary motor cortex, and the substitute function of the body provided by the myoelectric hand realizes the motor recovery as close to healthy person’s body function.
