Joint speed feedback improves myoelectric prosthesis adaptation after perturbed reaches in non amputees

Abstract Accurate control of human limbs involves both feedforward and feedback signals. For prosthetic arms, feedforward control is commonly accomplished by recording myoelectric signals from the residual limb to predict the user’s intent, but augmented feedback signals are not explicitly provided...
