So for an on-call work day, I try to use the myoelectric iLimb.<\/p>\n

Try.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The hand stays closed. Stays. Closed. Motors work and activate but the hand just closes. It is hard to open.<\/p>\n

The myoelectric signal seems “off”.<\/p>\n

Checking with the iPod software, the myoelectric signal *is* off!<\/p>\n

While the electrodes for extension (red line) work well, the electrode for flexion \/ closing the hand (blue line) never stop activating. When relaxing the muscle they never go under the black line.<\/p>\n

I did everything. Liner off, liner on. Electrode deconnect, reconnect. Hand off, hand on. Rub skin. And I repeated everything over again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And they had great contact with the skin.<\/p>\n

So, 15 minutes into the hard work day it was supposed to master, the iLimb myoelectric arm refuses to cooperate. Yeah, sometimes it works, true.\u00a0 But 2\/3 of the times I try to put the arm on it does not work.<\/p>\n

It is just that such problems are quite simply not any basis for a reliable user-prosthetic arm working relationship.<\/p>\n\n
