General view on the prosthesis market and evaluation of a new controlling approach where your imagination controls the prosthesis. The video presentation by me: https://youtu.be/O0jmxhO-4j8

1. ROBOTIC
PROSTHESIS
CONTROLED BY YOUR IMAGINATION
ARTHUR MARTINS ALONSO

2. István
Amputee
István like millions of other amputees
ls struggling to find a solution that:
Has a shorter learning curve,
being intuitive to use.
Keep all its features
cost-effectively.
Be responsive, precise and
reliable for his way of living.
Problem

3. Available solutions don't fit
his needs perfectly
Need another muscle
contraction to be controlled.
Pré-setted and fixed
movement patterns.
You have to "switch" the
grip mode.
An iPhone app
is necessary for setting
specific movements.
.
Uses co-contractions
or morse code to
change its grip pattern.
Unreliable for daily use
and require extensive
training.
Problem
Raising the prosthetic abandonment ratio

4. He might suffer detrimental effects on the
contralateral limb due to overuse.
Problem
Growth
Body adaptation
Affect the
colateral limb
Relearn
Why to be unintuitive is a problem ?

5. Uses the limb's natural trigger
reducing the learning curve
Without complex sensors or
surgery.
Moving as responsive
as your imagination.

6. Your EMG
Trigger
Motor Imagery is the
mental simulation of a
movement without any
muscle contraction.
How it works
Your EMG signal pattern
changes during its usage.
