Assistive Tech

This was the first test of a prosthetic controlled by EMG for the NTX group. The hand is already opening and closing accurately. This is the foundation for two projects, the Arms Under $100 Project, where we will build a single channel arm with all finger open and close function, and Advanced Control Arm which will have individual finger control and touch feedback.

This system monitors the activation of a single muscle group to type letters on a screen. Quick muscle pulses produce a 'dot' and longer ones produce a 'dash.' Once the letter sequence is completed, the user pauses and the letter is printed to the screen. This could be attached to virtually any muscle making it adaptable to anyone!
