Abstract
The total number of physically handicapped person is about 3.48 million in our country. In the meanwhile, the ratio of the crippled one is about 50% and most of them suffer from arthrogryposis. Many types of mechanical devices are developed to support physical function of human, but most of them are driven with a simple device like a mechanical switch. It is indispensable to reflect use's intention on the device in order to make it behave as a part of body. In this study we focused on an EMG and a MMG signal as a means of communication of human intention and proposed a control system combining these bio signals. The validity of the proposed system is confirmed through some experiments.
