A wireless telemetry system for training users of upper limb prostheses.

ABSTRACT

Telemetry from prosthetic systems is useful in aiding the users and clinical team in setting up and training and monitoring in the use of a prosthesis. The different forms are discussed and a new radio frequency based telemetry system is described. This system uses a computer to display the data and a video mixer to place the information on the same screen as the image of the user so that their actions and control signals can be simultaneously recorded for later study.
