About
N. Martinet is a leading researcher in the field of advanced upper-limb prosthetics, focusing on restoring natural, intuitive control for amputees. Their key research areas include myoelectric control systems, phantom limb movement analysis, and the development of multi-degree-of-freedom prosthetic hands. Martinet’s major contribution lies in pioneering methods that allow users to simultaneously control multiple prosthetic joints—such as the wrist and hand—by leveraging body compensations and voluntary phantom limb movements. This work directly addresses the critical challenge of enabling fluid, bi-manual task performance, which is essential for daily living. Notably, their 2022 study on simultaneous control of 2DOF upper-limb prostheses has garnered 20 citations, highlighting its impact in the field. Additionally, their 2017 and 2019 studies on voluntary phantom hand and finger movements in transhumeral amputees (totaling 12 citations) demonstrate that residual neural signals can be harnessed to naturally control polydigital prostheses. By bridging the gap between human intent and machine response, Martinet’s research is paving the way for more dexterous, cognitively simple prosthetic devices that significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with upper-limb loss.
