The purpose of this study is to produce the prototype myoelectrical hand prosthesis which amputee can use in everyday life. The results of the study are shown as follows.Electronic control circuitWe produced electronic control circuit aiming at the battery drive that the user could carry. The control circuit consists of a motor control circuit, electromyogram processing circuit, and a motor drive circuit. We changed a central processing unit for power-saving of electronic control circuit. With modification of a central processing unit, we developed a new control program. Because a design of the whole control circuit was finished, we made the first trial circuit board design for miniaturization and examined possibility of miniaturization. We developed the automatic offset regulation circuit of the force detecting circuit in hand.Sensory aid unitThe experiments were carried out to decide the modulation method, the position of electrical stimulation, and the number of stimulus point. As the result, we devised the method that did not inflict on subjects. And we confirmed that the three phases of information could be transmitted with four electrodes.For the sensory aid, we examined two kinds of electric stimulation method. One is the method that two different current of phase fed to the body and that the created beat current stimulated the body. By using this method, we could stimulate body in low voltage. And we confirmed that we could change the stimulus position with the fixed electrode by changing phase of two stimulus current and that the myoelectrical signal could be measured when this stimulation was applied. Another method is to give two kinds of stimulus to the body in succession. With this method, we could transmit the state of the hand prosthesis in accuracy of around 95%.

本研究的目的是研制一种可供截肢者日常生活使用的肌电假手样机。研究结果如下：电子控制电路针对用户可携带的电池驱动，我们研制了电子控制电路。控制电路由电机控制电路、肌电处理电路和电机驱动电路组成。我们更换了一个中央处理器，以节省电子控制电路的功率。通过对中央处理器的改进，我们开发了一个新的控制程序。由于完成了整个控制电路的设计，我们进行了小型化的第一块试验电路板的设计，并研究了小型化的可能性。研制了手持力检测电路的偏移量自动调节电路，并对其调制方式、电刺激位置、刺激点个数进行了实验研究。结果，我们设计了一种不会对受试者施加影响的方法。在感官辅助方面，我们考察了两种电刺激方法。一种是两个不同相位的电流馈入人体，产生的搏动电流刺激人体的方法。利用这种方法，我们可以在低电压下刺激人体。并证实了通过改变两个刺激电流的相位，可以改变固定电极的刺激位置，并且当施加这种刺激时，可以测量到肌电信号。另一种方法是连续给身体两种刺激。利用这种方法，我们可以将假手的状态信息传输到95%左右的准确率。
