Development of cost-effective myoelectric prosthesis.

Source

Source summary

Develop an affordable myoelectric upper-limb prosthesis for people who cannot access costly high-function devices. Preserve useful grasp patterns and finger movement rather than accepting imprecise low-cost performance. The source calls for collaboration between engineers designing controls/hardware and prosthetists handling sockets and fitting, with prosthetic-hand design central to the result. No price or clinical-performance target is supplied.
