International Intelligent Upper Limb Prosthesis

Medi-Rehatek will introduce the development of the International Intelligent Upper Limb Prosthesis.

Upper limb is an important organ of human life and labor, the loss of any part of the amputees will cause physical, life, work, psychological, social difficulties and mental burden. Upper limb prosthesis is used to replace the whole or part of the upper limbIn the field of auxiliary equipment, upper limb prosthesis has special significance.We strive to replace human hand in function and beauty in order to restore a certain self-care ability and ability to work .

As the structure of human upper limb is very fine, the action is extremely delicate, the main movements are controlled directly by the central nervous system, in accordance with the will of individuals to achieve individual or coordinated action, to complete a variety of functions of the input and output system, (Touch, pressure, pain, heat, etc.).

During the development of upper limb prostheses, movements,sophisticated, flexible and accurate movement control are the goal ofconstant pursuit.From the perspective of rehabilitation engineering, in the development of upper limb prostheses, people have always been committed to improving the function, bionic exercise and control methods,reliability. Myoelectricupper limb prosthesis is preferred as the good performance of bionic motion control.

For a long time, people use a variety of advanced technology research to develop of high performance prostheses.At present, the world has a number of prosthetic and robotics companies which develop a multi-functional electromechanical prostheses or components. In recent decades, the myoelectric signal recorded from the limb surface that has been widely used in the control of upper limb prostheses. However, after limb amputation, myoelectric information source is limited. The higher the amputation level is, the less muscle of residual limb is.
