Comparison of control strategies for an EMG controlled orthotic exoskeleton for the hand
Abstract
To restore dexterity to paralyzed hands, we have designed and constructed a lightweight, low-profile orthotic exoskeleton controlled by the user's residual electromyography (EMG) signals. In this paper, we compared several simple strategies to control the orthotic device for a quadriplegic (C5/C6) subject. When contralateral arm control was employed, we found that a simple on/off strategy allowed for faster interaction with objects, while variable control provided more controlled interactions, especially with deformable objects. Furthermore, we designed a control strategy that allowed for a natural reaching and pinching sequence without the use of the contralateral arm. We validated that the EMG signal from the ipsilateral biceps could be used to develop an extremely reliable natural reaching and pinching algorithm. This evaluation showed that different control strategies may be appropriate for different situations, and further investigation on the natural algorithm is crucial.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
