A control system for a multifunctional hand prosthesis, which requires a minimum of training for the amputee, has been developed. The great advantage of the pattern recognition technique in making it possible to control as many as six prosthetic movements has prompted this study. The development of a complete miniaturised system has allowed a clinical trial on four patients. Two different tests have been employed to evaluate this system: an objective computer test and a test representing activities of daily living (ADL test). The computer test shows that a high rate of correct recognition is obtained immediately after the prosthesis is applied to the amputee. The ADL test shows that forearm rotation, and flexion and extension of the wrist are used in most activities, indicating that few compensatory movements are performed. It is suggested that this control system is feasible and that long periods of training are unnecessary.
