Researchers have developed a new, fully automated prosthetic arm that learns during normal use and adapts to varying conditions.
A newly developed sensor for prosthetic arms can detect spinal motor neuron signals, a new study reports.
A newly developed bionic arm combines motor control with touch and hand movement sensations, allowing those with upper-arm amputations to behave and react as though they haven't lost their limb.
A prosthetic arm that is attached to the bone and controlled by electrodes implanted in nerves and muscles can operate more precisely than conventional prosthetic limbs. Researchers improved the neuroprosthetic hand by integrating tactile sensory feedback, so the patient can "feel" items.
A quadriplegic woman moves a robotic arm and hand in 10 dimensions with "mind control".
Using magnetic beads implanted into muscle tissue within the amputated residuum of animals, researchers have created a more precise way to control prosthetic limbs.
According to researchers, a reorganization of wiring in the brain could be an underlying cause of phantom limb pain experienced by amputees.
Researchers have developed a new method of restoring movement sensation for upper limb amputees. The researchers used small robots to vibrate muscles in order to 'turn on' movement sensations.
University of Exeter researchers report people with prosthetic arms are not able to experience the 'size-weight' illusion as strongly as those without missing limbs.
A new prosthetic system allows amputees to feel the same intensity of pressure on their prosthetic hand as they can feel with their natural hand.
Researchers have developed a new neural interface that is able to relay commands from the central nervous system to a robotic prosthesis.
An innovative new clinical trial seeks to explore how the brain adapts to bionic arms in children born without limbs. The study aims to improve prosthetics mastery in children.
