A 2022 study published in the National Library of Medicine at the National Center for Biotechnology Information found that more than 44% of people with upper limb loss abandon their prostheses, citing ...

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 ...

Allied Market Research published a report, titled, "Limb Prosthetics Market by Type (Upper Limb Prosthetics and Lower Limb ...

Currently, almost all powered prosthetic hands utilize electrodes that detect the user's muscle impulses and convert them into hand movements. A new system which is in development, however, should ...

Using a motorized prosthetic hand can be difficult, as users have to continuously concentrate on controlling the thing. That's why scientists from Switzerland's EPFL research institute are developing ...

Prosthetic limbs have been slow to evolve from simple motionless replicas of human body parts to moving, active devices. A major part of this is that controlling the many joints of a prosthetic is no ...

The Department of Defense (DOD) has awarded $6 million to FIU biomedical engineering professor Ranu Jung and her team to expand testing of their pioneering prosthetic hand system – which allows ...

Startup Phantom Neuro Inc. has secured $6 million in new seed financing to develop technology designed to give amputees more lifelike control over prosthetic limbs. Phantom Neuro’s system is designed ...

Researchers have developed a new strategy that could offer much more precise control of prosthetic limbs. After inserting small magnetic beads into muscle tissue, they can accurately measure the ...

We report the use of a bone-anchored, self-contained robotic arm with both sensory and motor components over 3 to 7 years in four patients after transhumeral amputation. The implant allowed for ...
