Restoring Hand Movement
Using EMG Technology
About the Project
This is an innovative rehabilitation system designed for people with limited hand mobility. Using an EMG sensor, I detect residual muscle activity and convert it into controllable movements.
What is Electromyography (EMG)?
Electromyography — is a method of measuring the electrical activity of muscles, allowing the detection of nerve impulses generated during muscle contraction. When a person moves their hand, the muscles produce weak electrical signals that are captured by special sensors. These data help analyze the condition of nerves and muscles, used in medical diagnostics, and implemented in rehabilitation and bionic systems.
In my project, electromyography plays a key role: it captures even minimal activity in weakened muscles and converts it into controllable movements. This allows the user to gradually restore motor function, improving coordination and control over the hand.
Project Goal
My goal is to make movement recovery accessible, effective, and user-friendly. This tool can become a key step toward improving the quality of life for people with hemiparesis and other motor impairments.
