ABSTRACT: As technological development improves the lives and comfort level of human being in much aspect, the same is not achieved in upper arm Amputees cases. The existing prosthetic upper limb design suffers from a major disadvantage of lack of support of near normal control of prosthesis. In addition to myoelectric control, Proprioceptive feedback is obtained by magnetic field sensors through processing the variation due to the arm bone movement. In this paper, a method involves in implanting a small permanent magnet in the humerus bone of the AE amputees to provide feedback for near normal control of prosthesis.
