Hybrid approach for myoelectric control of multi-finger movement classification

Identification of correct multi-finger movement class remains a difficulty in a myoelectric prosthetic hand. This is because only a small amplitude of electromyography (EMG) signal was produced by this multi-finger movement. Hence, powerful classification is needed to solve this problem. Support Vec...
