Even after a year of wearing and using a prosthetic device, participants in a new study still had a mismatch between what they did and what they felt.
A new device that can recognize hand gestures based on electrical signals in the forearm could one day control prosthetics.
New 3D-printable synthetic polymers have morphing powers and can self-heal within seconds. They could be useful for more realistic prosthetics.
Motors first designed for the International Space Station can help people using prosthetic legs to walk with a more natural gait, researchers say.
AI will help people using robotic prosthetics or exoskeletons walk securely on terrains, such as tile, brick, concrete, grass, and "upstairs" and "downstairs."
New findings may solve a mystery about how brains manage to process information so accurately, even though neurons act with a degree of randomness.
A tiny, new brain-machine interface device lets scientists make movies of neuron activity. It could help make better prostheses.
A new prosthetic allows amputees real-time, intuitive, finger-level control of a robotic hand. "It's like you have a hand again," one user says.
Soft robots and prosthetics could benefit from a new material that's conductive, lightweight, and heat-tolerant. Learn more in the video.
"...when someone loses a hand, we found both 'hand areas' of the brain—left and right—become dedicated to the remaining healthy hand."
