摘      要：Shoulder disarticulation amputees account for a small portion of upper-limb amputees,thus little emphasis has been devoted to developing functional prosthesis for this cohort of *** this study,shoulder girdle recognition was investigated with acquired data from electrophysiological(electromyography[EMG])and low frequency contraction(accelerometer[Acc])signals from both amputee and non-amputee *** contribution of this study is based around the contrast of the classification accuracy(CA)for different sensor configurations using a unique set of signal *** was seen that the fusion of the EMG-Acc produced an enhancement in the CA in the range of 10%-20%,depending on which windowing parameters were *** this,it was seen that the best combination of a windowing scheme and classifier would likely be for the 350 ms and spectral regression discriminant analysis,with a fusion of the EMG-Acc *** results have thus provided evidence that the two sensors can be combined and used in practice for prosthesis *** a holistic view on the study,the authors conclude by providing a framework on how the shoulder motion recognition could be combined with neuromuscular reprogramming to contribute towards easing the cognitive burden of amputees during the prosthesis control process.
