For Pt II see ibid. vol. 37, no. 11. pp. 1037-1047, Nov. 1990). A novel control scheme by which an amputee commands an elbow prosthesis using myoelectric activity is presented. By mimicking some important characteristics of the intact neuromuscular system, the proposed controller attempts to make the prosthesis respond as the natural elbow to both voluntary commands from the amputee and applied moments from the environment. Also presented is a description of a novel experiment for functionally assessing elbow prosthesis controllers. The experimental design calls for an amputee to perform a constrained motion task while operating a prosthesis capable of implementing a wide variety of controllers. Due to the nature of the constraint, the task emphasizes the prosthesis response to both inputs: voluntary commands and external moments.
