Control of hand and arm prostheses

Two students of biomedical engineering, Jakob Celander Rosenvang and Ronnie Wedel Horup, have received a grant of DKK 31,500 from the Siemens Foundation for their final project on control of hand and arm prostheses.

The grant enables them to buy equipment for realistic and advanced experiments on how to use real time internal muscle signals for control of the prostheses instead of signals from electrodes on the skin.

The new method will allow more advanced and intuitive movements, making the use of the prostheses less robot-like.

Dept. of Health Science and Technology (Institut for Medicin og Sundhedsteknologi)

The mission of the department is to establish and disseminate technological and medical competencies within the health scene “from cell to system”.

The department is the largest medical technology environment in Denmark – measured in researchers, publications, students, and turnover.
