Upper limb prosthesis controlled by myoelectric signal

The authors propose a design of a myoelectric prosthesis with two active and one passive degrees of freedom to fit on a limb with an above elbow amputation. It will be controlled by myoelectric electrodes implanted directly on the muscle surface.
