Input: ​The ​Electromyography (EMG) signal is the electrical manifestation of a neuromuscular activation that provides access to physiological processes which cause the muscle to generate force and produce movement. Non-invasive prostheses use such signals detected by electrodes placed on the user’s stump, as input to generate hand posture movements according to the intentions of the prosthesis wearer. The aim of this pilot study is to explore the repeatability issue, i.e. the ability to classify 17 different hand postures, represented by EMG signal, across a time span of days by a control algorithm. Data collection experiments lasted four days and signals were collected from the forearm of a single subject. We find that Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification results are high enough to guarantee a correct classification of more than 10 postures in each moment of the considered time span.
