About
Regina Mamede Costa is a dedicated researcher in biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on rehabilitation robotics and the enhancement of human-machine interfaces for amputees. Her work centers on improving the quality and reliability of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals, which are critical for the precise control of prosthetic and robotic devices. Her most cited paper, "Capture protocol of forearm sEMG signals with four channels in healthy and amputee people" (2012), proposes a standardized protocol to ensure cleaner, more effective sEMG signal acquisition. This contribution directly addresses a key challenge in the field: the variability and noise in biological signals that can hinder responsive prosthetic control. While her citation count is modest, her work lays foundational groundwork for more efficient rehabilitation technologies. Costa’s research is particularly notable for its practical focus on signal quality, a crucial factor for translating lab-based advances into real-world clinical applications that improve the daily lives of individuals with limb loss.
