Cloning biological synergies improves control of elbow neuroprostheses.

The control method proposed in this article is based on the following hypotheses: once the task and preferred strategy for movement are selected, then the voluntary (natural) control drives the proximal segment (shoulder joint), and the synergistic (artificial) control drives the distal segment (elb...
