Doctors in the Netherlands are now testing a new type of prosthetic "click-on" arm that is connected to the patient's existing nerves. It needs a little help from Bluetooth, but the end result is a ...

Researchers from Skoltech, prosthetics manufacturer Motorica, and Far Eastern Federal University have for the first time compared the sensations in phantom limbs of amputees during spinal and ...

A virtual forearm can bend in a blink. It can also take its time, easing toward a target as if it is thinking about the move. In a new virtual reality study, both extremes felt wrong. When a ...

The signals from those nerve endings were then routed to a computer that interprets them, using them to control the motion of a prosthetic arm. Researchers elsewhere are indeed trying record signals ...

At the heart of this breakthrough is a surgical procedure known as the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface, or AMI. Unlike traditional amputation methods, the AMI reconnects muscles in the residual ...

Decoding motor intentions directly from within peripheral nerves may enable more natural and intuitive control of prosthetic limbs. In the study, researchers successfully interpreted signals from the ...
