Abstract
This contribution concerns the use of a supervisory expert system based on fuzzy logic for the parameter adjusting of myoelectric prostheses. The pros thesis system is an artificial arm produced by INAIL in Vigorso (Bologna, I taly), which is equipped with an on-board actuation system. The expert syst em guides patients through an interactive session whose aim is to test the prosthesis functionality and, when necessary, to self-adjust the parameters . (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
