Samenvatting

Main Content. For an effective use of assistive technology for the upper extremities a proper control is required. The current paper argues that a proper control of assistive technology through myo-signals is possible when the control interface is adjusted to neuromotor functioning. The neuromotor system is organized in muscle synergies. To pick up activity of these muscle synergies, the control interface of assistive technology for the upper extremity should pick up patterns of muscle activity over multiple electrodes.
