“…However, this system can be used only by unilateral amputees excluding a large part of patients. A fourth technique that has been proposed, which is also used in this work, is the computer-based training system [13][14][15][16]. Commonly, these applications require complicated control algorithms relying on the requirements of the configuration of the personal computer, and on the availability of software tools that will allow the design of sophisticated animations.…”

Abstract. Development of tools for rehabilitation and restoration of the movement after amputation can benefit from the real time interactive virtual animation model of the human hand. Here, we report a computer-aided training/learning system for wrist disarticulated amputees, using the open source integrated development environment called "Processing". This work also presents the development of a low-cost surface Electro-MyoGraphic (sEMG) interface, which is an ideal tool for training and rehabilitation applications. The processed sEMG signals are encoded after digitization to control the animated hand. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the sEMG control system in acquiring sEMG signals for real-time control. Users have also the ability to connect their prostheses with the training system and observe its operation for a more explicit demonstration of movements.
