Glide
By Infinite Biomedical
Glide is a myoelectric control system designed to enhance the functionality of upper limb prostheses. Using 2 to 8 electrodes, it controls nearly every hand, wrist, and elbow on the market by interpreting electrode activity to navigate a customizable “Glide map”. This map is divided into slices, each assigned specific movements. Glide’s directional control ensures precise operation by adapting the Glide control to the user’s available signals through a transparent setup process. Directional control uses EMG co-activity to give the user direct access to functions on the prosthesis without switching signalsHardware and software are modular to allow scalability in function over time as users gain experienceThe number of electrodes needed is determined based on the needs of the patient through an evaluationCompatible with a wide range of prosthetic hands, wrists, and elbowsDesigned to eliminate the need for daily calibrations and adjustmentsEnables dynamic proportional range to meet the needs of the user
