Electromyography signal based for intelligent prosthesis design

Electromyography (EMG) is widely used throughout the world for different study such as clinical diagnosis and for movement analysis. One of the applications of EMG is in the development of myoelectric prosthesis. It is intended by all the biomechanics engineer in order to provide better living to the amputees since the current prosthesis are limited. It is principally operated based on the EMG signal generated from muscle contraction. Therefore, the challenge to develop myoelectric prosthesis devices begins with the challenging part to understand completely the principles of electromyography (EMG). Knowledge of EMG could lead the researcher to apply the signal correctly. This conceptual paper will provide better understanding and framework in process to develop such intelligent prosthesis.
