Review of electromyographic control systems based on pattern recognition

Abstract

Electromyographic control is a technique that involve with with the detection, processing and classification of the electromyogaphic signal that could be applied in human-assisting robots, prosthesis application or rehabilitation devices. This paper reviews recent research and development in pattern recognition based electromyographic control systems. with an emphasis on pattern recognition control for prosthesis application. The various methods used in the different stages of the pattern recognition based control system are discussed in details. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
