OVERVIEW
PURPOSE OF THE DEVICE
The Coapt Evaluation Kit is intended to be used for the planning and/or practice phases of an upper limb
myoelectric prosthesis fitting with two main purposes:
1. The Evaluation Kit allows potential upper limb prosthesis users to “test drive” Coapt COMPLETE
CONTROL myoelectric pattern recognition technology. It permits visualization of EMG control signals
and enables control of a virtual prosthetic arm in real time using the COMPLETE CONTROLROOM Gen2
user interface application. The Evaluation Kit can also be used as a training tool to assist users in
enhancing their function with pattern recognition myoelectric control.
2. The Evaluation Kit assists with determining location of electrodes in the socket by allowing the clinician
to validate potential for pattern recognition myoelectric control. This enables efficient planning of the
prosthesis socket. With less time spent in the clinic searching for the best muscle control sites, more time
will be available for in-clinic functional practice.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Coapt Evaluation Kit is an accessory tool intended to be used during the planning and alignment of
myoelectric control contact locations for an upper limb prosthetic socket.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
None known.
LIMITATIONS
Careful evaluation is required to determine if individuals with brachial plexopathy or high-level amputations
without targeted muscle reinnervation surgery could benefit from the Coapt Complete Control System Gen2
The Coapt Evaluation Kit can aid in determining this.
DESCRIPTION
The Coapt Evaluation Kit is a handheld clinical tool created with technology from the Coapt Complete Control
System Gen2 using pattern recognition technology to revolutionize the way muscles’ bioelectrical activity
(electromyogram, EMG) signals are analyzed, recorded, and used for the control of upper limb prostheses.
The Evaluation Kit allows for visualization and evaluation of myoelectric signals generated from muscle
contractions. The Evaluation Kit permits virtual practice and training for pattern recognition myoelectric control.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PATTERN RECOGNITION FUNDAMENTALS
Muscle electrical (myoelectric) signals contain a lot of information. Pattern recognition uses the combined
information gathered from an array of electrode contacts to control multiple prosthesis movements intuitively.
Electrode Contact: All electrode contacts must maintain good contact with the user’s skin for ideal pattern
recognition function.
Good Calibration: Pattern recognition performance depends on good calibration. Users must understand the
methods to provide good calibration.
Pattern Repeatability:Pattern recognition works best if the user can replicate the patterns of muscle signals
for each motion the same way each time. Each motion should “feel” the same each time the user performs it.
Pattern Differentiation:Pattern recognition requires the pattern of muscle signals to be different for each
distinct motion. Each motion should “feel” different from all other motions.
Guidance for Learning and Practice:
•No need for extra-hard muscle contractions. Contraction levels should be moderate – like the feeling in
the strength of a comfortable handshake.
•Start slow and practice patience. This new pattern recognition method of control can take a little time
and practice to get used to.
•Control is not position-based. Example: if a hand is commanded to close (and it does) and the user then
wishes to turn the wrist, there’s no need to “hold” the hand closed while rotating the wrist, as each motion
is a separate activity.
•If control becomes erratic, reflect on the “feeling” of the motions when calibrated. The system does not
forget the patterns it was calibrated with, so it can always be helpful to return to those perceptions when
needed.

PLANNING PATTERN RECOGNITION ELECTRODE LOCATIONS
Successful pattern recognition use depends on good muscle signal (myoelectric) information. The more
myoelectric information the pattern recognition algorithms get, the better the functional control potential.
The goal of planning and placing electrode contacts for pattern recognition is to spread electrode
contacts out as much as possible to capture all underlying muscle tissue that is providing information. An
analogy to this is planning the camera locations at a professional sports event – strategic locations are needed
to capture all angles and information from the area of interest.
Contact a
Coapt representative with any questions about myotesting and/or electrode
placement. Coapt is willing and able to assist with placement instruction and suggestion
—
these can often be accomplished by submitting socket and/or limb shape images to Coapt.
Step 1: Discussing User Contractions
Having a user explore all of the possible muscle contractions they can imagine, feel, and produce – even if some
contractions are faint and even contractions that might not be used for prosthesis control – is the important
first step in determining where their underlying muscle information “areas of interest” are.
A thorough discussion will have them think about and try all possible residual limb contractions. Ask the user
to first try contractions they would want to use for controlling their specific prosthesis functions. Focus on
contractions that are distinct and repeatable.
•Allow or encourage the user to mirror their perceived motions with their sound limb
as needed.
•When users have difficulty making contractions exactly matching a function (such as
not feeling all fingers well enough to mimic a certain grip, or not feeling their wrist
turning), explore supplemental contraction variations (for example: adding a feeling
of thumb extension to help with wrist supination, a feeling of pinky extension for wrist
pronation, or a feeling of fingers spreading for hand open).
•Be patient, listen, and take considerable time with this process.
•Perform this discussion in a relaxed environment.
•Develop a common vocabulary for specific motions.
Step 2: Palpating to find Underlying Muscle on the Residual Limb
To clinically determine where a user’s muscle information “areas of interest” are, have the user repeat all the
contractions from Step 1 while holding and feeling as much of their residual limb as possible. Ask the user to
sustain each muscle contraction for 3-4 seconds at a medium strength. Take time with this process. Be sure to
explore various contractions and repeat as necessary to feel all of the limb.

HANDBOOK (V
4.0) GEN2 EVALUATION KIT
14
While feeling the limb, take note of all areas where underlying muscle activity is felt, even if it is subtle. This will
guide where electrode contacts should be placed. Consider taking notes, capturing images, or making
temporary markings on the user’s skin.
•Feel for the overall muscle activity – like what the pattern recognition algorithm does
– by sensing the patterns of activity at multiple areas simultaneously.
•Remember: Pattern recognition myoelectric control does not rely on isolated muscle
signals, and it does not always need strong muscle signals. Avoid tendencies to only
feel with fingertips and to only feel for isolated “hotspots.
•Do not ignore areas of slight/subtle/weak underlying muscle contraction.
•Note any unique or unexpected areas of underlying muscle contraction – for
transhumeral amputees, this may mean unique muscle activity distal on the residual
limb.
•If the user contracts muscles quite hard for all motions, ask them to make
contractions a little more softly.
Step 3: Planning Electrode Locations
PLACING THE STANDARD EYELETS OR SNAPS EMG INTERFACE CABLE:
Use the areas of underlying muscle information discovered in Steps 1 and 2 to plan electrode contact locations.
The Standard Eyelets or Snaps EMG Interface cable has 17 electrode contacts to place, where 1 is an
independent reference “ground” contact and the remaining 16 are paired to make 8 “signal channels”. Each
pair of signal electrode contacts work together to capture the bi-polar, differential measurement of the muscle
contraction underlying their location. The two contacts for a given channel are ideally placed 30-60mm apart
and detect a myoelectric signal from an oval area encompassing their general location. The farther apart the
pair of electrode contacts, the larger (and deeper) the sensed area will be, and vice versa.
General Placement - Plan to place the 8 sets of 2 signal electrode contacts so their 8 myoelectric detection
“oval areas” fully capture all underlying muscle information. The independent reference contact (the 17th) should

HANDBOOK (V
4.0) GEN2 EVALUATION KIT
15
be positioned in a location that maintains excellent electrode-skin contact and should NOT be shared or paired
with any of the signal contacts.
Contact-Pair Orientation – While it is generally a good idea to align a pair of signal contacts in the direction of
underlying muscle fiber direction, it is ok with pattern recognition to place some of the electrode pairs “off-axis”.
This is helpful when fitting a residual limb with unique areas of muscle tissue, and for geometrically unique and
congenital limb presentations.
Contact Sharing – For a limb that is too small to reliably fit all 17 electrode contacts, it is ok to have a few of the
signal channels share an electrode contact. See the Coapt ControlSealTM product handbook for assembly detail
when sharing. When connecting the Standard Eyelets EMG Interface cable to shared electrode contacts, do
NOT place the two wires for the same channel (same color) on the same electrode contact – this will result in
zero signal for that channel and not be helpful for pattern recognition performance. Also, do not leave any
conductor wires unconnected. That is, always place electrode contacts for all 8 myoelectric signal channels.
•Consider starting with sites that correspond to previous electrode locations when
retrofitting existing myoelectric users.
•Do NOT limit electrode placement to “hotspot” areas.
•Identify locations to AVOID placing electrode contacts, such as
oAreas that will lose electrode-to-skin contact during use.
oAreas outside of socket boundaries or near valves.
oAreas that have no underlying muscle (i.e., bone only).
oSensitive skin areas.
oAreas over muscles that contract with arm loading positioning (example: deltoid or
brachioradialis muscles).

PLACING THE EVALUATION-STYLE CUFF OR OSSEOINTEGRATION-STYLE CUFF EMG INTERFACE CABLE:
For best results, clean and dampen underlying skin areas
and secure the Evaluation-style cuff snugly around the
most muscular section of the limb being evaluated.
Specific rotational position is not crucial but consider
aligning the connection cable with the Ulna (below
elbow) or laterally (above elbow) for repeatability.
When using the Evaluation-style cuff, EMG channels will
share some electrode contact points, plus one contact for
system-wide reference/ground, making a total of 9
contact points.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
A micro-USB cable is provided with the Evaluation Kit for charging the internal battery of the main unit. To
charge the battery at any time, connect the USB 3.0 side of the cable to a USB computer port or suitable USB
wall-charging “brick” then connect the micro-USB side of the cable to the micro-USB port on the side of the
Evaluation Kit.
The Evaluation Kit requires 2.5-3 hours to fully charge from a fully depleted battery.
The Charging Status Indicator LED Light is next to the Evaluation Kit’s micro-USB port has three different colors:

GUIDANCE FOR USERS
PATTERN RECOGNITION CALIBRATION
Calibration is how the Coapt system learns your muscle signals patterns – specifically, the patterns you will use
to personalize the control of your prosthesis. The better you calibrate, the easier it will be to control.
Calibration can be done at any time and typically requires less than two minutes. During calibration, you are
guided (either by auto-movements of your prosthesis or instructions on a screen) to hold muscle contractions
corresponding to the motions of your prosthesis. As you hold these contractions, the Coapt system listens and
learns the signals, computing a “pattern recognition” memory of what your muscle contractions look like. After
calibration, the Coapt system uses these memories to determine how you are controlling your prosthesis.
•Make sure the muscle contractions you control the prosthesis with feel like the
contractions you calibrated with.
•Make sure contractions for different actions feel different from each other.
•
Make sure contractions for the same action are consistent.
If the LED on the Complete Calibrate
button is blinking white after any calibration, there are
helpful calibration improvement messages available in the Control Coach®
tool of the
Complete ControlRoom software app or Control Companion mobile app.
Calibrating All Motions in a Sequence
This is a method to provide muscle signals patterns (to compute the pattern recognition memory) for all of the
enabled motions of your virtual prosthesis in an organized sequence.
USING THE PHYSICAL BUTTON
Hold the Coapt Complete Calibrate button for 2 seconds and release it once you hear the beep
to start the calibration sequence.
The virtual prosthesis moves itself through a sequence of motions and you follow along with
your corresponding muscle contractions. For example, if the virtual wrist is rotating palm up,
hold your intended muscle contraction for wrist supination. If the virtual hand is opening, hold
your muscle contraction for hand open. If the virtual prosthesis pauses for a moment, be sure
to relax your muscle contractions. As you hold and relax muscle contractions corresponding
to the prosthesis motions, the system is learning and adapting its pattern recognition memory.
