  Abstract                 = {A gap has been growing between the mechanical features of newly commercialized prosthetic devices and the control strategies available to the users. The prosthetic joints are controlled sequentially via myoelectric control, and each actuation requires the user's attention. Because of a complex control scheme, transhumeral amputees are generally equipped with a 1-degree-of-freedom myoelectric hand, a myoelectric wrist rotator, and a manually locked elbow. The prosthetic forearm position, adjusted before the movement, is not involved in the overall upper limb movements, resulting in the development of compensatory strategies. A promising solution to improve prosthetic control utilizes the residual limb motions to control the elbow. Previous studies have shown that elbow motion could be predicted from measures of the residual limb movements and an inter-joint coordination model. This study is the first to report the utilization of an automatically driven prosthetic elbow by a transhumeral amputee.},
