Abstract / Description of output

With commercial prosthetic hands, executing some everyday movements, for example, concurrent grasp and bending of the wrist to pick up an object from a high shelf, is very challenging. We hypothesised that after the loss of the hand, the flexibility of the nervous system enables prosthesis users to bypass the innate biomechanical constraints on upper-limb muscles and joints. We show that users are able to learn to operate a myoelectric-controlled interface by flexibly contracting pairs of hand and forearm muscles. The use of these novel activity patterns can have a transformative effect on the control of future prosthetic hands.
