and software design could give them something to look forward to in the near future. This paper gives an overview of the future of sonomyography, the morphological changes of a muscle being detected by sonography, as an interface to control a prosthetic upper limb in real time and surpass the limitation of surface electromyography as an interface. Sonography imaging is rich in information, fast, widely available, and relatively cheap. Introduction…

Introduction: The human leg is a complex and versatile machine. Designing a prosthetic (artificial) device to match the leg’s capabilities is a serious challenge. Teams of scientists, engineers, and designers around the world use different approaches and technologies to develop prosthetic legs that help the user regain a normal, active lifestyle. Studying the Human Gait Cycle: Each person has a unique way of walking. But studying the way humans walk has revealed that some basic mechanics hold…
