Muscle dystrophy can occur in the body’s organs of human movements such as the legs, thighs, upper arms, palms and fingers of humans so that the sufferer cannot use limbs. Electric wheelchair is not effective for people with muscle dystrophy disabilities, because users have limitations such as defect of the hands. Given these circumstances, this research proposes an electric wheelchair with controlled by electromyography (EMG) which is placed on the arm muscles. This Electric wheelchair use 2-channel electrodes for sampling muscle signal. This research was conducted in Balai Besar Rehabilitasi Sosial Penyandang Disabilitas Fisik (BBRSPDF) Surakarta, Indonesia. The results of the first grip strength testing are less than 35.8 kgf that indicates weakness of the hand grip. The same thing in the second treatment is a weakness in the handle because of n less than 35.8 kgf. The result of robustness test, spherical movement is not robust with a value 0.756 and. 0.000. The result of cylindrical movement is fully robust with a value 0.001 and 0.000. The result of lateral movement is fully robust with a value 0.000 and 0.000. The result of tip movement is fully robust with a value 0.000 and 0.029. The result of hook movement is not robust with a value 0.109 and 0.000.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
