Abstract


Prosthetic devices are necessary to help amputees achieve their daily activity in the natural way possible. The prosthetic hand has controlled by type of signals such as electromyography (EMG) and mechanomyography (MMG). The MMG signals have represented mechanical signals that generate during muscle contraction. These signals can be detected by accelerometers or microphones and any kind of sensors that can detect muscle vibrations. The contribution of the current paper is classifying hand gestures and control prosthetic hands depends on pattern recognition through accelerometer and microphone are to detect MMG signals. In addition to the cost of prosthetic hand less than other designs. Six subjects are involved. In this present work is the devices. In this study, two of them are amputee subjects. Each subject performs seven classes of movements. Pattern recognition (PR) is used to classify hand gestures. The wavelet packet transform (WPT) and root mean square (RMS) as features extracted from the signals and support vector machine (SVM) as a classifier. The average accuracy is 88.94% for offline tests and 84.45% for online tests. 3D printing technology is used in this study to build prosthetic hands.
