The latter is often required when infection is present and there is a need for free drainage from the operative site. A second surgical procedure involving stump (or residual limb) revision or closure is needed after the guillotine procedure. This is done only after the infection has been ...
Myoelectric utilizes muscle activity from the residual limb for control of joint movement. Electromyographic signals from the limb stump are detected by surface electrodes, amplified and then processed by a controller to drive battery powered motors that move the hand, wrist and elbow. These devices ...

"Further, the inherent risks associated with surgery required to implantelectrodes, along with the long-term stability of recorded signals, is of concern. ... Here we show that it is feasible to extract detailed information on intended grasping movements to various objects in a natural, intuitive...
