MIT's Hugh Herr led the development of a technique to create a neuroprosthetic interface during or post-amputation to control prosthetic limbs and provide brain feedback, potentially revolutionizing clinical care.
The surgical procedure connects muscle pairs with electrodes in the residual limb, enabling natural proprioceptive sensations and improving control and feedback for the bionic prosthesis.
Results from the study show that around 18% of muscle tissue is adequate to provide these natural proprioceptive feedback sensations, showcasing the effectiveness of the technique.
