Abstract:
1. A myoelectric prosthesis control system comprising: a gel liner detachable from a socket of a prosthesis, the gel liner comprising an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the inner layer is coated over at least a portion of the outer layer, the gel liner being configured to be worn over a portion of a residual limb, and the gel liner including a distal end and a proximal end; a plurality of leads fabricated from a conductive fabric; a plurality of electrodes, each electrode being coupled to a lead, each electrode being at least partially supported by the gel liner and extending through the inner layer to contact the residual limb to detect electromyographic signals; wherein each lead is at least partially positioned between the inner layer and the outer layer of the gel liner, wherein no portion of any lead protrudes through the outer layer at the location where the lead is coupled to the electrode; and a distal end connector being coupled to the gel liner adjacent to the distal end of the gel liner, the distal end connector being configured and arranged to receive at least a portion of the plurality of leads.
