AB  - The limitation of current prostheses is not the devices themselves but rather the 
      lack of sufficient independent control sources. A system capable of reading intra 
      muscular EMG signals would greatly increase the number control sources available 
      for prosthesis control. We are developing a multichannel/multifunction prosthetic 
      hand/arm controller system capable of receiving and processing signals from up to 
      sixteen implanted bipolar differential electromyographic (EMG) electrodes. An 
      external prosthesis controller will decipher user intent from telemetry sent over 
      a transcutaneous magnetic link by the implanted electrodes. The same link will 
      provide power for the implanted electrodes. This paper describes some of the 
      technical aspects of the implant and telemetry design.
