Integration of surface electromyographic sensors with the transfemoral amputee socket: a comparison of four differing configurations.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The group of passive prostheses consists of prosthetic hands and prosthetic tools. These can either be static or adjustable. Limited research and development on passive prostheses has been performed although many people use these prosthesis types. Although some publications describe passive prostheses, no re...
