Prosthetics and orthotics
Using EMG technology by Elemyo
Using EMG technology by Elemyo
Electromyography sensors are widely used in the fields of prosthetics and orthotics. To be more specific, in control and evaluating systems for bionic prostheses, braces, supports, and exoskeletons that assist existing limbs.
EMG-based control systems enable users to experience more intuitive and responsive movement. EMG sensors detect electrical signals generated by muscle contractions, allowing amputees to operate prosthetic devices using their own muscle activity, enhancing both functionality and user experience.
Our MYOv1.5 and MYOstack v2.0 sensors are designed with high signal accuracy and compact form factors, making them capable of registering even weak muscle contractions from residual or underdeveloped muscles, for example, as happens in case of upper limb aplasia.
We have developed our sensors as open-source products, allowing users to create customized EMG control systems to suit their specific needs. Whether you're prototyping a new prosthetic interface or integrating EMG into a broader assistive technology project, our sensors serve as a flexible and reliable foundation.
Importantly, our sensors use surface EMG (sEMG) technology, which is non-invasive and user-friendly. The sEMG sensors are placed on the skin, eliminating the need for surgical implantation and making the system safer, more accessible, and easier to use for a wide range of users and applications.

Areas of application:
- upper limb prostheses
- powered orthoseses
- support assistive devices like exoskeletons and braces
- evaluation of effects gained during orthoses or exoskeleton use
Benefits of the MYO v1.5 sensor:
- curved surface for better contact with skin
- simple rectangular shape for easy integration in prosthetic socket
- ready libraries for EMG control
- open-source software for quick start of development
Benefits of the MYOstack v2.0 system:
- curved surface for better contact with skin
- use of up to 9 sensors simultaneously for advanced EMG control
- reduced number of wires to ease the multisensor use
- mechanical gain regulation for individual adjustment of the prosthesis
