Abstract
Artificial limbs that are used for amputees have mostly been body powered. This paper emphasizes on the development and analysis of MMG and EMG signals and designing a bionic arm that utilizes MMG signals that would reduce the stress level, the patient/user suffers with a body powered arm. The MMG-driven prosthesis is composed of specialized hardware and software modules that emulate a conventional 1-site electromyography sensing system. The objective of this work is to obtain the muscle signals using a suitable sensor and using the signal, driving the bionic arm.
