Abstract
This manuscript presents a hybrid study of a comprehensive review and a systematic(research) analysis. Myoelectric control is the cornerstone ofmany assistive technologies used in clinicalpractice, such as prosthetics and orthoses, and human-computer interaction, such as virtual reality control.Although the classification accuracy of such devices exceeds 90% in a controlled laboratory setting,myoelectric devices still face challenges in robustness to variability of daily living conditions.The intrinsic physiological mechanisms limiting practical implementations of myoelectric deviceswere explored: the limb position effect and the contraction intensity effect. The degradationof electromyography (EMG) pattern recognition in the presence of these factors was demonstratedon six datasets, where classification performance was 13% and 20% lower than the controlledsetting for the limb position and contraction intensity effect, respectively. The experimental designsof limb position and contraction intensity literature were surveyed. Current state-of-the-art trainingstrategies and robust algorithms for both effects were compiled and presented. Recommendationsfor future limb position effect studies include: the collection protocol providing exemplars of at least 6positions (four limb positions and three forearm orientations), three-dimensional space experimentaldesigns, transfer learning approaches, and multi-modal sensor configurations. Recommendationsfor future contraction intensity effect studies include: the collection of dynamic contractions, nonlinearcomplexity features, and proportional control.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
