  • Abstract:
    In order to realize a myoelectric-controlled multi-functional hand prosthesis, this paper proposes a method to improve the myoelectric pattern classification ability of a hand controller. By applying the proposed method of µ-LAW quantization, the pattern classification rate increased by 11.1% (averaged for five subjects) and by 15.5% (maximum), with a practical pattern classification rate of 97.8% being achieved.
