The use of electromyography (EMG) for translating muscle activity into precise movements has become a pivotal technique to control myoelectric prosthetic devices, significantly improving the quality of life for amputees. Traditional EMG control of prosthetics relies on techniques that decode forearm muscle activity into discrete and simple gestures. Although robust and reliable, these methods are far from the dexterity of a real hand, and can hinder the users' acceptance. Recent advancements in neural network-based control offer a more intuitive approach, enabling amputees to achieve more natu
