  • Publication number: 20230398004
    Abstract: A method for configuring a myoelectrically controlled prosthetic system with a prosthesis socket and several lead electrodes for recording electric muscle activities, featuring the steps: placement of a surface electrode arrangement comprising several surface electrodes around the circumference of a residual limb, recording of electric muscle activity in muscles of the residual limb as electromyographic signals, said activity being recorded by the surface electrodes, evaluation of the myoelectric signals with regards to the distinctness of the signals, selection of the control procedure that is to be used to control the prosthesis system, based on the evaluation of the distinctness of the signals, and fixing of the lead electrodes to the prosthesis socket.

  • Patent number: 9566016
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for visualizing multi-channel sensor signals, especially myoelectric signals, which are derived from a limb or an amputation stump by way of electrodes, comprising the following steps: a display direction and a display amount are associated with each sensor signal, the display direction represents exactly one sensor signal, the display amount represents the intensity of the respective signal, the display direction and the display amount of all sensor signals are presented simultaneously in real time on a display device as a graphical object.
