Delaying feedback during pre-device training facilitates the retention of novel myoelectric skills: a laboratory and home-based study.

These results show that with delayed feedback training, it is possible to retain novel myoelectric skills. Using abstract decoding participants can activate four distinct muscle patterns without using complex algorithms. The accuracy achieved in the pilot study supports the feasibility of motor learning-based upper-limb prosthesis control after home-based myoelectric training.&#xD.
