The loss of one or both arms is a major disability that profoundly limits the everyday capabilities and interactions of individuals with upper-limb amputation. There are approximately 10,000 patients in Canada with an upper limb amputation. A suitable prosthetic replacement of the amputated limb(s) would enhance their ability to care for themselves, enable a more diverse range of employment, and provide more opportunities to enjoy an active lifestyle. Myoelectric prostheses use the electromyogram (EMG) signals (the electrical signals generated during muscle contraction) from residual limb muscles to control motorized arm joints. The use of EMG offers a non-invasive means of establishing a natural interface to the neuromuscular system to control the lost functions of the limb.

失去一只或两只手臂是一种严重的残疾，严重限制了上肢截肢者的日常能力和互动。加拿大大约有10，000名上肢截肢患者。 为截肢者安装合适的义肢，可提高他们照顾自己的能力，使他们的就业范围更多元化，并提供更多机会享受积极的生活方式。肌电假肢使用来自残肢肌肉的肌电图（EMG）信号（肌肉收缩期间产生的电信号）来控制机动手臂关节。 EMG的使用提供了一种建立神经肌肉系统的自然界面以控制肢体丧失的功能的非侵入性手段。
