• Dragonfly TV: Rylee's Myoelectric Arm

  I'm Rylee. My friend Kristin and I went to The Bakken Museum in Minneapolis. This place focuses on electricity and the human body. It's of special interest to me, because I use a myoelectric prosthetic arm. My arm works with electrodes, which sense electrical signals in my muscles. I want to know: how do the electrical signals in my body help my arm work?
