Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 Annual International Conference on Emerging Research Areas: Magnetics, Machines and Drives (AICERA/iCMMD) Conference Start Date: 2014, July 24 Conference End Date: 2014, July 26 Conference Location: Kottayam, India, India Electromyogram (EMG) -- controlled devices are being explored for controlling the functioning of the rehabilitation devices. The main advantage of these devices is the hands-free operation with minimal need for assistance. The present study delineates the development of a wireless EMG control system. The proposed control system was tested using a miniaturized wheelchair model. The proposed control system eliminates the presently implemented complex wired control system. The developed control system may also be used for operating other rehabilitation aids (e.g. robotic arm).
