Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study proposed a human reaching movement model for myoelectric prosthesis control and a training system capable of providing the trajectory desirable to reach a target based on the proposed model. To observe reaching movements, an experiment was performed with a non-impaired subject and a myoelectric prosthesis user. The characteristics of reaching movements for a myoelectric prosthesis user were identified. The proposed model can generate hand trajectories and hand velocity both for non-impaired subjects and for myoelectric prosthesis users. A high-fidelity virtual training system was developed using immersive head mounted display.
