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
Revolutionizing Prosthetics program achieves goal of restoring sensation A 28-year-old who has been paralyzed for more than a decade as a result of a spinal cord injury has become the first... Read more
Recent research published in the journal Microsystems & Nanoengineering could eventually change the way people living with prosthetics and spinal cord injury lead their lives. Instead of... Read more
Researchers design cheap prosthetic knee that mimics normal walking motion In the last two decades, prosthetic limb technology has grown by leaps and bounds. Today, the most advanced prosthe... Read more
Austrian scientists have developed the first artificial leg that stimulates “feeling” for the patient. According to AFP, The prosthetic limb has sensors that connects to rewired nerve ending... 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
NO, REALLY. AMPUTEES HAVE BEEN TESTING THEM FOR OVER A YEAR For a full decade, Gudmundur Olafsson was unable to move his right ankle. That’s because it wasn’t there. Olafsson... Read more
Neuroscientists are taking inspiration from natural motor control to design new prosthetic devices that can better replace limb function. In new work, researchers have tested a range of brai... Read more
Engineers at Saarland University have taken a leaf out of nature’s book by equipping an artificial hand with muscles made from shape-memory wire. The new technology enables the fabrication o... Read more
Three Austrian men have become the first in the world to undergo a new technique called “bionic reconstruction”, enabling them to use a robotic prosthetic hand controlled by their mind, acco... Read more
A Colorado man made history at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) this summer when he became the first bilateral shoulder-level amputee to wear and simultaneously... Read more
A paralysed woman who controlled a robotic arm using just her thoughts has taken another step towards restoring her natural movements by controlling the arm with a range of complex hand move... Read more
Touch can be a subtle sense, but it communicates quickly whether something in our hands is slipping, for example, so we can tighten our grip. For the first time, scientists report the develo... Read more
A University of Texas at Dallas professor applied robot control theory to enable powered prosthetics to dynamically respond to the wearer’s environment and help amputees walk. In research av... Read more
A prosthetic hand, which provides a sense of touch acute enough to handle an egg, has been completed and is now exploited by the NEBIAS project after 10 years of EU-funded research. The worl... Read more
