The aim of the present paper is to illustrate the phases of design and application of an innovative input source for an EMG upper limb prosthetic arm: a laryngophone, otherwise called throat microphone (t - mic). In the last years several different input sources were explored, from the implantable myoelectric sensors to the mechanomyographic sensors. The idea of controlling a prosthesis with vocal commands is quite recent but seems to be promising in helping users to better control their devices, improving the quality of their life.

Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to illustrate the phases of design and application of an innovative input source for an EMG upper limb prosthetic arm: a laryngophone, otherwise called throat microphone (t - mic). In the last years several different input sources were explored, from the implantable myoelectric sensors to the mechanomyographic sensors. The idea of controlling a prosthesis with vocal commands is quite recent but seems to be promising in helping users to better control their devices, improving the quality of their life.File in questo prodotto:
