• Designing a modification to the MyHandSCI orthosis to provide gripping assistance to both tendons in each finger instead of just one.
• Prototyping an iris-style variable-radius pulley to allow for adjustable retraction speeds for different fingers. Currently prototyping a 2-slider and 3-slider design.
• Analysing EMG patient data through signal decomposition and comparing frequency and time domains to evaluate the effects of “reciprocal learning” on the patient’s ability to create muscle signals to control the orthosis.
• Looking into feature selection for the muscle signal classifier to see which EMG channels most strongly suggest opening and closing instructions.
