Abstract


The advancement of prosthetic arms has significantly reshaped assistive technology, offering individuals with limb loss a way to restore movement and independence. These modern systems rely on Electromyography (EMG) sensors, which detect electrical impulses generated during muscle contractions. By interpreting these bio-signals, EMG-enabled prosthetic arms convert user intent into accurate, real-time mechanical movements. This allows for more natural and responsive control in different environments. This abstract reviews the effectiveness of EMG-integrated prosthetic limbs, focusing on their role in improving autonomy and quality of life for users. It also examines challenges such as electrical noise interference, energy efficiency, and affordability that must be addressed for widespread implementation. These innovations represent a major leap toward intelligent, accessible assistive technologies that can benefit people around the world.
