Fixed muscle synergies and their potential to improve the intuitive control of myoelectric assistive technology for upper extremities

Abstract Background Users of myoelectric controlled assistive technology (AT) for upper extremities experience difficulties in controlling this technology in daily life, partly because the control is non-intuitive. Making the control of myoelectric AT intuitive may resolve the experienced difficulti...
