CONTROL OF ACTIVE ORTHOSIS BY EMG SIGNALS

The article discusses control of active prosthesis and orthosis by using of EMG (electromyography) signals. It is designed an active orthosis for human lower limb and analyzed kinematic parameters of healthy and injured knee joints. There are considered different types of electrodes and found more optimal design. Also are analyzed electrodes location on human body to obtain more useful results. Problems of active orthosis controlling are also discussed.
