J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(5):687–98. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2012.06.0115 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2012.06.0115JSP Aim – Assess motor learning in people with lower-limb amputation using proportional myoelectric control from residual-limb muscles. Relevance – Major hurdle in developing commercially successful powered prostheses is control interface. – Myoelectric signals are one way for prosthetic users to provide feedforward volitional control of prosthesis mechanics.

Assessed: – How quickly individuals with amputation improved their performance. – Whether years since amputation correlated with performance.

By end of short training: – Tracking error did not significantly differ between subjects with amputation and nondisabled subjects. Initial but not final performance correlated significantly with time since amputation.

Findings are encouraging for future use of proportional myoelectric control of powered lower-limb prostheses.
