The major issue for a person who has suffered a stroke is the severe impairment affecting the hand and the high risk to have a poor recovery associated. Innovative approaches are needed in the next future, translating recent advances from neuro-engineering, into feasible devices for rehabilitation care. The FP7-EU project MYOSENS aims to translate known motor control logic from sEMG prosthetic control, to rehabilitation robotics. The target is to promote the closing of sensory-motor loop on the basis of intention to move, as detected from residual sEMG (i.e. Extensor Digitorum Communis, Flexor Digitorum Profundus).
