abstract = "The acceptance of hand prostheses strongly depends on
their user-friendliness and functionality. Current
prostheses are limited to a few movements and their
operation is all but intuitive. The development of
practically applicable multi-movement prostheses
requires the combination of modern classification
methods with novel techniques for manufacturing high
precision sockets.
In this paper, we introduce an approach for classifying EMG signals taken from forearm muscles using support vector machines. This classifier technique is used in an adaptive operation mode and customized to the amputee, which allows us to recognize eleven different hand movements with high accuracy. Then, we present a novel manufacturing technique for prosthesis sockets enabling a precise amputee-specific fitting and EMG sensor placement.",
