Project Description

Summary: Transradial-level amputation is the most common type of major limb amputation, causes severe disability, and impacts functional ability, independence, and quality of life for many thousands of individuals. The subjects in this dataset were previous myoelectric control prosthesis users who were trained to use a multi-articulating hand prosthesis with pattern recognition. They used a multi-articulating hand prosthesis under pattern recognition control trained with multiple grips at home for eight weeks pre- and post-Targeted Muscle Reinnervation surgery (TMR). The TMR surgery involved transferring the remaining ulnar nerve to the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and the remaining median nerve to either the flexor digitorum superficialis or brachioradialis muscle. After each home trial, users participated in an electromyography (EMG) data collection, recording 32 channels of bipolar surface EMG while they performed various wrist and hand movements. The database contains this EMG for six individuals pre- and post-TMR surgery.
