Prostheses with direct EMG control could restore amputee’s biomechanics structure and residual muscle functions by using efferent signals to drive prosthetic ankle joint movements. Because only feedforward control is restored, it is unclear 1) what neuromuscular control mechanisms are used in coordinating residual and intact muscle activities and 2) how this mechanism changes over guided training with the prosthetic ankle. To address these questions, we applied functional connectivity analysis to an individual with unilateral lower-limb amputation during postural sway task. We built functional connectivity networks of surface EMGs from eleven lower-limb muscles during three sessions to investigate the coupling among different function modules. We observed that functional network was reshaped by training and we identified a stronger connection between residual and intact below knee modules with improved bilateral symmetry after amputee acquired skills to better control the powered prosthetic ankle. The evaluation session showed that functional connectivity was largely preserved even after nine months interval. This preliminary study might inform a unique way to unveil the potential neuromechanic changes that occur after extended training with direct EMG control of a powered prosthetic ankle.
