    generate a residual signal, and based upon the properties of the generated residual signal, potential fault conditions are identified and useful information is extracted (Ding 2008). The basic concept of a typical model-based fault detection approach is illustrated in Fig. As indicated in Fig., there are two main stages in this approach, the first of which generates the residual which is then passed to the residual evaluation stage. Throughout the fault-free operation, the magnitude of the residual signal

    However, current research is looking into the myoelectric prosthesis, which takes electric (and chemical) signals from the patient’s original muscles on their residual limb and then has those signals control the movement of the artificial limb. In 2013, the researchers at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago developed a leg that takes those neural impulses from the patient’s thigh muscles into movement. With the research that is currently being done, soon it will be commonplace for users to control
