Behavioral Studies of Myoware Sensor During Automated Prosthetic Implementation

Abstract

Abstract The revolutionary evolution in the field of biosensors have led to many innovations in the field of biomedical implants, prosthetics or orthotics, robotics, wearable medical devices, health monitoring systems and fitness bands. This study is about myoware sensors that works on principle of electromyography captured by myoware sensors based on electric potentials. A raw EMG signal is synthesized by amplification, rectification and integration of signals that is ready to use and programmed by any micro-controllers or ADCs’ that were observed during the implementation of an automated prosthetics system for a human cru. Locomotion of a static pylon is attained by placing the myoware sensors at different muscles. The following two case studies are considered such as: [a] placing the myoware sensor on Rectus Femoris and operate the prosthetic limb when there is a valid signal computed by the micro-controller with the sensor’s reading, [b] placing the myoware sensor on Deltoids and operate the prosthetic limb when there is a valid signal computed by the micro-controller with the sensor’s readings.
