用躯干动作控制假肢肘部速度,实现自然流畅的连续运动。

Compensation Effect Amplification Control (CEAC): A movement-based approach for coordinated position and velocity control of the elbow of upper-limb prostheses

  • 利用躯干前倾后仰输入控制假肢肘部速度,增强自然协同。
  • 12名健康参与者在绘图任务中表现接近自然手臂,且姿势更符合人体工学。
  • 适合需要精细连续控制的上肢假肢用户,减少代偿性动作。

尽管上肢假肢设计不断进步,但实现腕部、肘部等中间关节的直观控制仍具挑战,尤其在连续、速度可调的运动中。本文提出一种新型基于运动的控制范式——补偿效应放大控制(CEAC),利用用户躯干前倾与后仰作为输入,控制假肢肘部速度。考虑到躯干在上肢动作中既是功能关节也是代偿关节,CEAC放大了躯干与假肢间的自然耦合,并引入可控延迟,使用户能同时调节假肢关节的位置与速度。在12名健康参与者使用带活动肘部的额外假肢完成通用绘图任务中进行评估,其中10人还完成了多目标抓取任务。结果表明,在改变动作速度或绘图尺寸的情况下,任务表现仍与自然手臂相当,且保持了人体工学的躯干姿态。分析显示,CEAC有效恢复了关节间的协调动作,合理分配躯干与肘部的运动负荷,实现了无需极端代偿的直观轨迹控制。总体而言,CEAC为上肢假肢中间关节提供了一种极具前景的控制策略,尤其适用于需连续精确协调的任务。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Despite advances in upper-limb (UL) prosthetic design, achieving intuitive control of intermediate joints - such as the wrist and elbow - remains challenging, particularly for continuous and velocity-modulated movements. We introduce a novel movement-based control paradigm entitled Compensation Effect Amplification Control (CEAC) that leverages users' trunk flexion and extension as input for controlling prosthetic elbow velocity. Considering that the trunk can be both a functional and compensatory joint when performing upper-limb actions, CEAC amplifies the natural coupling between trunk and prosthesis while introducing a controlled delay that allows users to modulate both the position and velocity of the prosthetic joint. We evaluated CEAC in a generic drawing task performed by twelve able-bodied participants using a supernumerary prosthesis with an active elbow. Additionally a multiple-target-reaching task was performed by a subset of ten participants. Results demonstrate task performances comparable to those obtained with natural arm movements, even when gesture velocity or drawing size were varied, while maintaining ergonomic trunk postures. Analysis revealed that CEAC effectively restores joint coordinated action, distributes movement effort between trunk and elbow, enabling intuitive trajectory control without requiring extreme compensatory movements. Overall, CEAC offers a promising control strategy for intermediate joints of UL prostheses, particularly in tasks requiring continuous and precise coordination.
