This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in brain-machine interfaces. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Being able to actuate parts of a prosthetic limb can make it much more useful. To help in this goal for partial arm or hand amputees, [TURFPTAx] has developed a sensor for detecting forearm muscle ...

Researchers demonstrated a magnet-based system that can track the location of muscles and could be used to help people control prosthetic limbs and other wearable robotic devices. Using a simple set ...

A new electronic sensor called MyoWare that is currently over on the Kickstarter crowdfunding website has been used to create a pair of DIY Wolverine claws that can be controlled by simply flexing ...

Staff Sergeant James Sides lost his right arm in an IED explosion in Afghanistan. Now he's the first patient in an FDA trial testing an implantable, muscle-connected controller for prosthetics. By ...

What do you get when you combine an ESP32-S2, a machine-learning model, some Hall effect sensors, and a grip exercise toy? [Turfptax] did just that and created LASK4. The four springs push down ...

Robotic prosthetic arms allow amputees to perform a particular set of actions by twitching the remaining muscles in their severed limb. But the range of movements possible with existing robotic arms ...

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- A North Carolina State University graduate ran into a road block when he was working on his senior engineering project, and out of that he created a muscle sensor. It can control ...

After U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. James Sides lost his hand while serving in Afghanistan, he was desperate to get back to his old way of life. Despite the fact that he had mastered the use of his ...
