This leads to a life-long dependency on caregivers. Within the BMBF-funded project OrthoJacket, a modular, active orthosis for the upper extremity is developed. In this paper a new capacitive sensor module is presented, with which OrthoJacket can be controlled with electromyography (EMG) signals from different muscles, such as for example the musculus sternocloidomastoidus.", language = "en", urldate = "2022-11-21", booktitle = "Biomedical {Engineering} / 765: {Telehealth} / 766: {Assistive} {Technologies}", publisher = "ACTAPRESS", year = "2012" }
