Myoelectric control uses the signals from a residual limb for the movement of the prosthetics. Myoelectric control technologies obtain signals from the skin on the limbs.

The term for electric properties of muscles.


How are myoelectric arms controlled by the patient?

Nerves emit electricity, which enters copper wires and tells them what to do. This is an extremely hard process due to the connection of all nerves into the myoelectric arm and can take more than 6 hours.

What is the average cost for a bionic prosthetic?

The average cost of a bionic prosthetic limb can range from $20,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on factors such as the complexity of the device, the technology used, and the level of customization required. Advanced bionic prosthetics with features like myoelectric control and sensory feedback tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum. Insurance coverage may vary, affecting out-of-pocket expenses for users.


What is going on inside your body when your stomach is growling?

intestines are squirting juices for digestion. The growling of your stomach (and intestines too) has to do with the presence of air within your gut. Your gut is a hollow tube that is lined with muscle. This muscle contracts even when you are hungry, producing waves of activity known as Migrating Myoelectric Complexes. The Cyberzine on Gastroelectrophysiology has a somwhat technical discussion of MMCs that displays a few graphs of this activity in the stomach. The term 'myoelectric' has to do with the electrical activity of contracting muscle (myo=muscle). This activity is detected by placing electrodes at different locations on or near various regions of the stomach. The procedure involves putting a tube from the mouth into the stomach, so it is not a commonly performed in people. Between meals these Migrating Myoelectric Complexes propagate along the entire length of the gut. The continued contractions of the stomach and intestines serve to keep mucus, remaining foodstuffs and bacteria from accumulating at any one site. The contractions also produce vibrations when air bubbles become trapped in the lumen. These vibrations produce the growling noises associated with hunger.


What is a transradial prosthetic limb?

A transradial prosthetic limb is an artificial limb that is designed to replace a missing arm below the elbow. It is attached to the remaining limb using a socket and can be controlled by the user through various mechanisms like muscle signals or myoelectric sensors. Transradial prosthetic limbs can provide functional use and improved quality of life for individuals with upper limb amputations.


What is normal gain on ekg machines?

Gain may not be exactly the right word but the standard transfer function is that 1 millivolt between electrodes causes a 10 mm deflection of the pen on the graph paper. Some machines have selectable gains, these are on top of this transfer function and are not standard nor are they usually specified in any absolute scale. They are called things like "normal" and "high" which doesn't tell you much. Amplifying a millivolt to produce a 1cm deflection is not really very hard. The hard part is digging the actual EKG signal out of all of the noise. There is sub-hz noise from patient motion, such as breathing, change of skin resistance from perspiration and/or evaporation, etc. There are myoelectric signals which are really difficult since the EKG is basically a myoelectric signal anyway. There is always a lot of line frequency (50/60 Hz) noise. Overall, bandwidth is around .05 to 150 Hz.
