Abstract: The technology of myoelectric arm is developing day by day to make it more beneficial for the patients .This paper describes the design of myoelectric-controlled partial-hand prosthesis to help physically disabled people, who had traffic or industrial accident and the lost function. The proposal focuses mainly on extract electromyogram (EMG) signals generatedduring contraction of the biceps. The detected EMG signals must first be processed, digitized, and converted to Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals, which are then used to control the designed prosthesis mechanism. The knowledge required to implement the proposed prosthesis design project thus covers signal-processing techniques, labview interface design, and a scheme for controlling a servomotor mechanism.
