A surgery developed at MIT, called agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), connects muscle remnants from the shin and the calf to allow near-natural movement for those using an advanced ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have showcased a new type of bionic leg that can be plugged directly into the patient's brain. The prosthetic is surgically connected to ...

CHICAGO - Researchers have come up with new technology that may one day help amputee war veterans: an artificial leg that reads brain signals, and it's already being tested out. The bionic leg that ...

Why it matters: Traditional artificial limbs are getting better, but they just don't quite achieve that smooth, natural stride most people take for granted. They rely on robotic sensors and programs ...

The use of brain computer interface has the potential to improve the daily lives of people with prosthetic limbs, according to research presented this week at the Association of Academic Physiatrists ...

EUGENE, Ore. — March 5, 2025 — Picking up a cup of coffee, flipping a light switch or grabbing a door handle don’t require much apparent thought. But behind the curtain, the brain performs feats to ...

Home > Extreme Brain-controlled prosthesis nearly as good as one-finger typing Researchers at Stanford have recently developed new computational methods to make BMIs significantly more accurate. With ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...

You can probably complete an amazing number of tasks with your hands without looking at them. But if you put on gloves that muffle your sense of touch, many of those simple tasks become frustrating.

Cedars-Sinai investigators found a new way to control prosthetic devices using brain signals. Their preclinical findings, if confirmed in clinical studies, could help stroke survivors control external ...

Alex Smith was 11 years old when he lost his right arm in 2003. A drunk driver operating a boat collided with his family’s vessel on Lake Austin, sending him overboard. He hit a propeller, and his arm ...
