A biocontrolled prosthesis is a functional prosthesis driven by an electric motor or compressed air and controlled by bioelectric signals from the muscles of the stump.
The peculiarity of such a prosthesis is that it allows a person to control the prosthesis using his own muscle efforts. To do this, special sensors are attached to the stump, which detect electrical impulses during muscle contraction. These signals are transmitted to the actuators of the prosthesis, forcing them to make the desired movements.
Biocontrolled prostheses are much more functional than conventional mechanical prostheses. They allow you to perform fairly subtle movements of the hand and fingers. In addition, such prostheses give a feeling of naturalness, since a person controls them using familiar muscle efforts.
Biofeedback makes the prosthesis much more comfortable to use. However, the creation and adjustment of such prostheses requires highly qualified specialists. In addition, they are more expensive compared to simple mechanical prostheses. However, biocontrolled prostheses allow people with amputations to adapt and return to an active life much more effectively.
A biocontrolled prosthesis is a functional prosthesis that is driven by electric motors or compressed air, and is controlled by bioelectric signals from the muscles of the user’s stump.
Biocontrol prosthetics are becoming increasingly popular due to their advantages over traditional prosthetics, such as no need for external power sources, a more natural and accurate imitation of human movements, and the ability to be used in a variety of settings, including sports and other active activities.
Bioguided prostheses work based on electromyography (EMG) technology, which allows you to measure the electrical activity of muscles and transmit this information to the prosthesis. This allows the user to control the prosthesis using their muscles, making it more comfortable and natural to use.
One of the main advantages of Bioguided prostheses is the ability to use them in various situations, such as sports, dancing and other activities where high precision of movements and control over the prosthesis are required. In addition, bioguided prostheses can be lighter and more comfortable to use than traditional prostheses due to the use of modern technologies and materials.
However, despite all the advantages, bioguided prostheses also have some disadvantages, such as high cost and complexity of installation. Additionally, some users may have difficulty operating the prosthesis due to lack of experience or technical skills.
In general, bioguided prostheses are a promising direction in prosthetics and can become an important tool for people with disabilities in their daily lives.
