The optimal control scheme for powered prostheses can be determined using simulation experiments, for which an accurate model of prosthesis control is essential. This paper focuses on electromyographic (EMG) control signal characteristics across two different control schemes. We constructed a functional EMG model comprising three EMG signal characteristics-standard deviation, kurtosis, and median power frequency-using data collected under realistic conditions for prosthesis control (closed-loop, dynamic, anisometric contractions). We examined how the model changed when subjects used zero-order or first-order control. Control order had a statistically significant effect on EMG characteristics, but the effect size was small and generally did not exceed inter-subject variability. Therefore, we suggest that this functional EMG model remains valid across different control schemes.
