Feasibility of a biomechatronic EPP Upper Limb Prosthesis Controller.

In this paper, we examine the feasibility of an implantable topology of a Biomechatronic Extended Physiological Proprioception (EPP) Upper Limb Prosthesis Controller. Initial findings support the hypothesis that the topology is safe and feasible. This novel controller topology can maintain the advantages of EPP, but without its inherent disadvantages i.e. of the existence of unaesthetic cables, or mechanical linkages.
