ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a method and apparatus for switching between degrees of freedom in a prosthesis responsive to myoelectric signals generated by muscles. In the invention, an average pattern corresponding to a specified muscle contraction is stored in memory. In operation, the invention continuously stores a specified preceding interval of the incoming myoelectric signals and compares the data in that interval with the stored average pattern. If the incoming data is sufficiently similar to the stored average pattern, a recognition occurs and the device switches degrees of freedom.
