Prof. Maria Claudia F. de Castro is an Electrical Engineer with a PhD. in Biomedical Engineering from the State University of Campinas (2000). Since 2001, she has been working on undergraduate and graduate courses at the FEI University Center (São Bernardo, SP, Brazil) and guiding research projects in the development and application of devices for motor rehabilitation of upper limbs, acquisition and processing of biopotentials (EMG and EEG) aiming at pattern recognition for use in rehabilitation and human-computer interfaces. In 2019, she was licensed to occupy the position of Director of the Department of Technologies for Sustainable and Social Development Programs, of the Secretariat of Applied Technologies, of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations, and Communications (MCTIC), returned to the academic and research activities at the FEI University Center in 2020.

Upper limb motor deficit causes a strong impact on the quality of life of individuals and their families, especially due to the relationship of dependency and low self-esteem that is established. This project aims to develop Neuroprostheses based on Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), also known as Functional Electrical Stimulation, for 3 different pathologies: Tetraplegia, Hemip…
Based on the fact that the command protocol used in the current upper limb myoelectric prostheses is not intuitive and does not mimic the biological movement control way, a lot of effort have been made in that field to correlate the control signal to the performed movement. Adding the fact that in situations where myoelectric signal has very low amplitude such as those observed in dynamic…
