Providing patients with the ability to tailor their upper limb prosthetic devices to their unique functional needs and lifestyle preferences allows for greater autonomy and confidence in their prosthetic use.
This session delves into the transformative potential of pattern recognition technology in myoelectric prostheses, redefining who can benefit from these innovative solutions. By incorporating an Intent Decoding Mechanism (IDM), pattern recognition enables direct, intuitive control of multiple grip patterns—allowing users to effortlessly perform activities of daily living by decoding their specific movement intentions. This enhances functionality, independence, and overall quality of life for individuals using myoelectric prostheses.
Attendees will also gain a comprehensive understanding of clinical candidacy criteria, ensuring they can effectively determine which individuals stand to benefit most from this innovation.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this program, learners will be able to:
