Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Aim – Conduct comparative study of 2 finite state machines and a postural control scheme using virtual and physical assessment procedures. Relevance – Myoelectric controller should provide intuitive and effective human-machine interface that deciphers user intent in real-time and is robust enough to operate in daily life.

Used Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure (SHAP) to compare effectiveness of controllers during activities of daily living using multigrasp artificial hand. Used virtual hand posture matching task to compare controllers when reproducing 6 target postures.

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Results Performance when using postural control scheme was significantly better than when using finite state machines during physical assessment when comparing within-subject averages using SHAP % difference metric. Virtual assessment described significantly greater completion rates for finite state machines, but movement time tended to be faster for postural control scheme.
