A next-generation neuroprosthetic hand that restores a sense of touch is moving into a pivotal home-use clinical trial.

A fter nearly 60,000 votes, STAT readers have spoken: A prosthetic arm that can “feel” is 2016’s most innovative idea. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of ...

All of this is crucial information for a prosthetic arm to feel like the real thing. The researchers say that three Swedish patients have now lived with the device for between three and seven years.

Sensors or haptics technology could be placed in the fingers of a robotic arm and transmit signals to the chest, allowing the patient to feel the sensation encountered by the prosthetic limb.

Coapt is a Chicago-based company that builds the technology powering bionic hands and prosthetic limbs for amputees.

The bionic arm is battery-powered and uses an intuitive control system that allows the wearer to move multiple joints at the same time.

A new design aims to identify the memory of movement in the amputee's brain in order to manipulate the prosthetic device. Controlling a prosthetic arm by just imagining a motion may be possible ...
