| Research Abstract |
The experiments were carried out with the aim to determine the position of the muscle that is most appropriate for control of myoelectric hand. As a result, the myoelectric signal position of the maximum was 27mm proximal part of the forearm than the maximum circumference position in the flexor for wrist. Became the distal part of the forearm than 54mm maximum circumference position in the extensor muscle for wrist. It was found that in order to generate more EMG signals, it is possible to carry out bending motion of the finger due to the hand articulation is effective.
