A paper led by Caleb Thomson was recently published in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation. The paper is titled: “Proportional myoelectric control of a virtual bionic arm in participants with hemiparesis, muscle spasticity, and impaired range of motion” and was coauthored by Fredi R Mino, Danielle R Lopez, Patrick P Maitre, Steven R Edgley and Jacob A George.
This project investigated the ability of stroke patients with hemiparesis to use proportional myoelectric controls.
