| Summary: | Restoring human limb that is lost due to accidents
or amputation because of vascular diseases with prosthesis is one
challenging issue in engineering field. The loss of human body,
especially the upper and lower limbs will limit the daily activities
of patient in many ways. There were many studies that had been
done previously in developing prostheses which were simpler in
the forms than human limb. However, the performance of these
units was mostly unnatural and is damped by constraint in the
model of the limbs. In this paper, the development of thumb
training system that allows the measurement of
electromyography (EMG) signal when the thumb is flexed at
different angles with varying force is discussed. The parameters
are then possible to be used with conjunction of Hill’s muscle
model to develop a more precise model of the thumb. The
platform also features several adjustments so as to suit various
size of human hands. The result from EMG measurement from
the system shows that the system is able to characterize the EMG
signal of thumb at different pose and force. |
