Abstract

The application of position control to externally powered prosthetic arms leads to increased function and versatility when compared to a prosthetic system with open-loop control. However, various compromises are necessary owing to the limited number of available control sites. An investigation is being conducted into the possibility of combining the advantages of position control during the dynamic phase of movement with the locking facility of velocity–time control during the static phase, which leads to a larger number of available control sites and thus a greater number of degrees of freedom.
