Drumming Arm: an Upper-limb Prosthetic System to Restore Grip Control for a Transradial Amputee Drummer

This paper describes a quasi-passive transradial prosthesis designed to restore drumstick grip control for amputee drummers. A compact motor with low rotor resistance driven by Electromyography (EMG) is implemented in the prosthesis to support real-time drum performances. A variety of grip profiles…
