Procedimentos adotados na coleta de sinais mioelétricos para construção de próteses da mão

Abstract

This chapter provides information on the precautions and recommendations that need to be taken in collecting the myoelectric signal for use in myoelectric prostheses with multi-ple movements. For a better understanding of the process, an approach is made about the EMG signal, its treatment, movement identification techniques and the instructions for the acquisition process. A prototype acquisition equipment is also being presented here as an example.
