Motivation:
• > 4000 people get injured in road accident every
year and live without one or more body parts.
• Rana plaza massacre and many other left many
people cripple for life time.
• Dependency on exported prosthesis.
Goal:
Provide an affordable solution of prosthetic limb for our country
Objectives:
• Design an Analog Frontend circuit to record the electrical
activity of muscle (EMG).
• Detect muscle contraction to generate a command signal
• Use the command signal to control prosthetic arm.
5. Electromyography (EMG)
5
• Electromyography (EMG) is the study of muscle activity.
• Electromyograph detects electrical potential generated by
muscle cells.
• Recorded upon voluntary contraction of muscle.
• Potential range: >50uV up to 20-30mV
• Broad frequency range: 10Hz to 1000Hz
• Maximum usable energy: 50Hz to 150Hz
Typical EMG Signal Characteristics

• Brain commands in spinal cord transmitted to muscle
fiber by Motor neuron.
• When motor unit is activated muscle fibers contract.

Proposed System
Our whole system design can be broken down into following parts:
Dual DC voltage regulator
Instrumental amplifier
Active low pass filter
Pc or laptop interfacing using Arduino
Control prosthetic robotic hand
9. Electrodes
• Using surface EMG(SEMG), made of Ag/AgCl.
• Permits electron conduction from the skin to the wire and
to the electromyography.
• the connectors of these electrodes have three conductor
sensor cable with electrode pad leads.
• Using electrolytic gel between skin and electrode can
reduce electrode impedance.
• multi-useable electrodes, positive, negative and ground,
to the skin/surface covering the muscle, in order to detect
muscle movement.

10. Dual DC Voltage Regulator
10
• To provide constant regulated voltage and protect
circuit IC components.
• IC 7805 and 7905 are used to provide +5V and -5V
regulated output.
• Capacitors are used to filter output ripple effect.
11. Instrumentation Amplifier
11
• Low cost, high accuracy with high input impedance, low DC
offset, low noise and very high open-loop gain.
• High CMRR: >100dB
• Amplitude of input: 1mV to 10 mV.
• Gain = 1+
50𝑘𝞨

• Takes the difference between two electrodes and amplify it.
12. Active Low-Pass Filter
12
• Remove high frequency noise interference.
• Cutoff Frequency:

= 482 Hz
• Order of filter: 2nd order
• Gain: Unity
• Output: Non inverted
13. Active Low-Pass Filter (Cont…)
• Output of low pass filter:

16. Signal Analysis in MATLAB
• Power line noise removal
o 50Hz notch filter is used to
eliminate power supply noise
o Order: 2nd
o Filter type: Infinite impulse
response (IIR).
16
17. Signal Analysis in MATLAB (Contd…)
• Band-Pass Filter followed by Squaring of the Signal
17
o A FIR Bandpass filter is used.
o Cutoff frequency: 0.5Hz to
100Hz.
o Squaring of the band pass
filtered signal
o Threshold estimated as 3*RMS
o Final output gives either logic 1
or logic 0 with respect to
Threshold.
o This Binary output is used to
control prosthetic arm.
18. Accuracy Calculation
18
• We calculate accuracy of the system using
Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC)
method.
• We have divided the signal in each 250
samples range and checked four
conditions:
o True Positive (TP)
o True Negative (TN)
o False Positive (FP)
o False Negative (FN)
• Artifact/Noise due to body or cable
movement makes False Positive (False
Alarm).
We calculate Accuracy using following equation:
𝐴𝑐𝑐 =
𝑇𝑃 + 𝑇𝑁
𝑇𝑃 + 𝑇𝑁 + 𝐹𝑃 + 𝐹𝑁

• As we developed robotic arm instead
of prosthetic hand we haven’t
compared our system with any
currently available system.
• If this system can be implemented
by making prosthetic arm through
3D Printer, the cost will be around
10,000 BDT which is much less
than others.
20. Problem Faced/Limitations
• Very low signal amplitude (0 to 10mv)
• Internal and external noises:
o Inherent noise
o Motion artifact
o Electromagnetic noise
20
• Availability of affordable electrodes
• Limited usability of electrodes
• Making it portable
• Others
21. Conclusion
• The EMG recording and prosthetic system we developed are very cheap and can
be affordable for peoples in developing country like Bangladesh.
• We successfully digitally process the signal in MATLAB which can be used
further for any EMG based diagnosis.

22. Future Works
• 3D printed prosthetic hand.
• Controlling each finger movement.
• Convert the circuit into PCB
• Packaging the whole system.
