Schematic representation of a standard myoelectric pattern recognition classifier a and the proposed continuous switching method b. The blue dot refers to the current hand position, while the other coloured dots represent four different hand final positions, described as HO, G1, G2, G3 in this example. The classical approach require to reach the hand open state (HO) to enable the switch between different gestures (i.e. G1, G2, G3,..), while the proposed method allows to move continuously from one gesture to another
