Neuroprosthetic interface enables natural gait control for prosthetic limbs
Neuroscience News — July 2, 2024, 01:00 AM UTC
A new neuroprosthetic interface enables prosthetic limbs to be controlled by the body's nervous system, resulting in a natural walking gait. Patients with this interface walk faster and more naturally than those with traditional prosthetics. The study showed significant improvements in movement and coordination, offering promising advancements in prosthetic technology. The surgery reconnects muscles, providing proprioceptive feedback for improved outcomes.
