Electromyography based human-computer-interface to induce movement in elderly persons with movement impairments

An electromyography (EMG) based Human-Computer-Interface (HCI) has been developed and tested with persons who are predominantly older and who have movement impairments. The core requirements for the HCI are: 1) easy and intuitive to use by both a rehabilitation therapist and the patient 2) applicable for any part of the patient's body and 3) supportive of therapeutic rehabilitation goals.
