University of Utah

Start Date

3/1/2017

Completion Date

12/31/2027

Summary

The purpose of this study is to improve control of myoelectrically-controlled advanced orthotic devices (an exoskeleton device that use the body's muscle signals to drive movements of a robotic brace) by using advanced predictive decode algorithms, and the use of high count (\> 8) surface electromyographic (sEMG) electrodes.

Detailed Description

This study looks to improve control of myoelectrically-controlled advanced powered orthoses (orthoses that use the body's muscle signals to drive movements of a robotic exoskeleton) by using advanced predictive decode algorithms, and the use of high count (\> 8) surface electromyographic (sEMG) electrodes.
