- Additional information
- This project was funded by the National Science and Engineering Council of Canada
and the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation. The paper demonstrates ways to
make controlling multi-joint prosthetic arms simpler using accelerometers mounted in
the prosthesis. The is important as it simplicity of control is necessary for practical
prosthetic arms and easy control makes such arms more likely to be accepted by the
user population. Subsequently, accelerometers have been incorporated into
commercial prosthetic hands for use in the field (Ossur iLimb).
