我们提出了一个网络支持的肌电平台，用于在实验室环境之外进行研究。基于通用物联网连接技术的低成本、灵活、模块化设计使基于家庭的研究得以试点。介绍了该平台的大纲，然后介绍了从3名参与者为期10天的家庭测试中获得的技术结果。结果显示，该系统在大约28小时的累计使用中收集了近12,000次试验。多名参与者的家庭测试可以提高效率，并为上肢假肢装置在更自然的环境中进行长期测试提供了一种直观的途径。临床相关性-家庭肌电训练减少临床医生的时间。带有后端仪表板的网络系统使临床医生能够长期监测患者的肌电能力，并将提供一种获取上肢假肢常用信息的新方法。
We present a network-enabled myoelectric platform for performing research outside of the laboratory environment. A low-cost, flexible, modular design based on common Internet of Things connectivity technology allows home-based research to be piloted. An outline of the platform is presented followed by technical results obtained from ten days of home-based tests with three participants. Results show the system enabled collection of close to 12,000 trials during around 28 cumulative hours of use. Home-based testing of multiple participants in parallel offers efficiency gains and provides a intuitive route toward long-term testing of upper-limb prosthetic devices in more naturalistic settings.Clinical relevance— In-home myoelectric training reduces clinician time. Network-enabled systems with back-end dashboards allow clinicians to monitor patients myoelectric ability over time and will provide a new way of accessing information about how upper-limb prosthetics are commonly used.
