A female Swedish patient with hand amputation has become the first recipient of an osseo-neuromuscular implant to control a dexterous hand prosthesis. In a pioneering surgery, titanium impla... Read more
‘Electronic skin’ allows user to experience a sense of touch and pain; ‘After many years, I felt my hand, as if a hollow shell got filled with life again,’ amputee vo... Read more
Luke Skywalker’s bionic hand made possible by ultrasound technology Luke Skywalker’s bionic hand is a step closer to reality for amputees in this galaxy. Researchers at the Georgia Institute... Read more
Thanks to the electrodes system a stable signal is obtained, which allows precise control like handling an egg without breaking. It also provides sensations as if it were a real hand. The fi... Read more
For patients who’ve lost limbs, it’s a challenge is to put both their lives and their bodies back together. Now, a breakthrough technology being tested at the University of Calif... Read more
Stanford engineers have created a plastic skin-like material that can detect pressure and deliver a Morse code-like signal directly to a living brain cell. The work takes a big step toward a... Read more
Researchers are exploring new approaches to designing prosthetic hands capable of providing “sensory feedback.” Advances toward developing prostheses with a sense of touch are pr... Read more
To the nearly 2 million people in the U.S. living with the loss of a limb, including U.S. military veterans, prosthetic devices provide restored mobility yet lack sensory feedback. A team of... Read more
“I think it’s very possible that in fact, you will consider this new thing as being part of your body” In a study recently published in IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems... Read more
