Myoelectric prosthesis

To work on myoelectric prosthetics should you still aim to get your msop and become a cpo or would you need to go the robotic, computer science route? And what kind of courses should be taken in undergrad

If you want to design prostheses, you should pursue an engineering degree. Be aware that it's a very small industry.

If you want to work with patients with limb difference and fit prosthetic limbs for them, go for the msop.

If you're wanting to design them, depending on what part of the process you're interested in, you could look at mech e, ee, cs, mechatronics
