| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This work aims to realize the coordination between a shoulder prosthesis and its user’s normal arm, for improving the usability of shoulder prostheses in daily living environment. The integration of the following achievements would make it possible. 1) Based on the multiple indexes, including motion range, impact absorption, the force needed by actuators, weight of the prosthesis, a procedure to develop prostheses for daily living use for each individual has been established, which enabled a light prosthetic arm for this project. 2) Based on experiment results on bimanual coordination measurement, a motion reconstruction for hand from the brain activity (Electroencephalogram) and the muscle activity information (Electromyogram), an adaptive controller for bimanual coordination has been built. 3) A scheme to evaluate the effect of sensory feedback to users using f-MRI was proposed and verified.
