Abstract: As multifunction prostheses become increasingly common, there is a need for improved control\nsignal quality in order to control all the functions. Most signals commonly used for prosthesis\ncontrol are sensitive to sweat, motion and external forces [1], which impairs prosthesis control\nperformance.\nWe have developed a prototype surface electromyogram (sEMG) sensor with three built‐in\nforce sensing resistors (FSRs) for measuring the external forces, which may be used to cancel\nartifacts caused by these forces. The performance of the sensor as an estimator of muscle force\nis presented in this paper. The sEMG and FSR signals have also been tested individually, as a\nreference for the performance using the combination of these signals.
