Analysis of movement supporting and grasping by hand using Myoelectric Moments

Abstract

Myoelectric prosthetic hands have been designed without considering supporting behavior, which freaquently causes the fingers of the prosthetic hands to break. To avoid this breakage, we need to predict the supporting behavior in advance. Therefore, this paper analyzes the movements of leaning against the wall and reaching for the bottle using myoelectric moments, tools for visualizing features through dimensional contraction.
