A virtual upper limb prosthesis as a training system

A virtual reality system that improves the functional adjustment between an amputee and an active prosthesis is described. It includes the development of a virtual prosthesis and a myoelectric interface integration. The main purpose of this work is to provide a training system as a previous stage, to subjects who need to use an upper limb myoelectric prosthesis, which will allow that the users control easily a real prosthesis, optimizing the adaptation process through virtual training.
