A virtual reality environment that enables patients to train with the prosthetic system without the need for a real and fitted prosthesis is being developed. Furthermore, the sensing and control module can be tested and adapted in this environment. The training environment will consist of a graphical hand model that can make the same movements as the eventual prosthesis. Input signals will be the myoelectric signals measured at the residual limb of the patient and the motor commands for the prosthetic hand.

Results:

• Virtual reality training environment for testing of the sensing and control part, training of patients without a fitted prosthesis and testing of the sensing algorithm
• Training protocol for patients after surgery in a virtual reality training environment
