Man-machine interface: Myoelectrically controlled above-knee prosthesis

Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

We apply engineering principles to develop cutting-edge medical technologies and create efficient healthcare solutions.

As an example, CTO Howard HIllstrom, PhD was one of the first to develop a myoelectrically controlled above-knee prosthesis in 1987, using electric signals from the residual muscles of an amputee to control the prosthesis movement.
