PY - 2019 DA - 2019/12/09 TI - Exploring physiological signals on people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy for an active trunk support: a case study JO - BMC Biomedical Engineering SP - 31 VL - 1 IS - 1 AB - Arm support devices are available to support people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), but active trunk support devices are lacking. An active trunk support device can potentially extend the reach of the arm and stabilize the unstable trunk of people with DMD. In a previous study, we showed that healthy people were able to control an active trunk support using four different control interfaces (based on joystick, force on feet, force on sternum and surface electromyography). All four control interfaces had different advantages and disadvantages. The aim of this study was to explore which of the four inputs is detectably used by people with DMD to control an active trunk support.
