Controlling the hand movement at elbow joint using EMG signal

Abstract

The project describes the control of the prosthetic limbs for human hand movement at elbow joint, it was built to help the patients who is suffer from permanent disability in upper limbs of the body especially at elbow joint, because of the motion at elbow joint is one of the simplest and most important motion of human beings everyday life, we will chose this project , the angular position of the robot system are controlled by the signal from biceps and triceps muscle movement , this system will used multiple electrode at the skin surface to take EMG signal by electromyogram circuit at biceps and triceps muscles as an input information of the controller, the activation level of the working muscle will be vary by human arm movement that will be vary the input of the information of the controller then control the position of the robotic hand
