2008 Delsys Prize Winner
Delsys Inc. and the Delsys Prize Review Board Members are proud to award the
2008 Delsys Prize to:
Dr. Helen (He) Huang of the University of Rhode Island for her work titled:
"Toward neural control of artificial legs:
a new strategy to identify locomotion modes using EMG"
Summary:
A phase-dependent EMG pattern classification strategy is proposed to promptly identify the user’s locomotion mode. This method was tested on both able-bodied subjects and subjects with long transfemoral amputations. The EMG signals from gluteal muscles and muscles in the thigh or residual limb contained sufficient neuromuscular control information for reliable classification. This proposed approach has a great potential for design of neural-controlled, powered artificial legs, which can further enhance the locomotion function in individuals with lower limb amputations.
