Why it worked

The video effectively answers a common question about how prosthetic limbs work, using a clear and concise explanation of EMG technology. The visual demonstration of the prosthetic hand responding to muscle signals makes the concept easy to understand and engaging.

Summary

This video explains how EMG (electromyography) is used to control bionic hands. By detecting electrical signals from muscles in the residual limb, the prosthetic hand can be made to perform various movements.

Reply to @Loll1368's comment I dont realy get how it works with no hand So as simply as possible EMG or electromyography is a method used to measure the electrical signals produced by muscles when you flex them now in the context of controlling bionic hands EMG is used to capture those signals and we then use them to move the hand this is true for both amputees and those born with congenital limb differences so by placing electrodes on the skin we can detect those signals and from them understand the user's intention to move their hand or fingers and that information is then used to control the prosthetic hand allowing the user to perform various movements such as grasping or releasing objects
