Amputee Jason Barnes plays the piano with a prosthetic arm that detects muscle movement in his stump using ultrasound technology and an algorithm to predict which metal finger he intends to use.
Various groups have already developed "thought-controlled" prosthetic hands, that respond to nerve impulses in the user's residual arm stump. A new system could make such hands easier than ever to use ...
About 75 percent of amputees exhibit mobility of their phantom limb. Using this information, researchers have developed a prototype capable of detecting these movements and activating a prosthetic arm ...
A unique way to possibly treat the intense pain of phantom limb syndrome has been invented -- by creating a virtual world for an amputee to enter via computer. Within that world, the patient ...
Given that parents are already reluctant to buy fancy clothes that their small child will soon outgrow, then it follows that they would really question buying their amputee toddler a high-tech ...
About 75% of amputees exhibit mobility of their phantom limb. Using this information, in collaboration with physicians*, researchers from CNRS and Aix-Marseille University have developed a prototype ...
