Abstract
In this paper, we address two of the most important challenges in development and control of assistive hand orthosis. First, supported by experimental results, we present a method to determine an optimal set of grasping poses, essential for grasping daily objects. Second, we present a method for determining the minimal number of surface EMG sensors and their locations to carry out EMG-based intention recognition and to control the assistive device by differentiating between the hand poses.Keywords
