May 18, 2023 — An unexpected discovery about temperature feedback has led to new bionic technology that allows amputees to sense the temperature of objects ¬-- both hot and cold -- directly in the phantom hand. ...
Feb. 15, 2021 — Researchers and surgeons have devised a new type of amputation surgery that can help amputees better control their residual muscles and receive sensory feedback. This restored sense of proprioception ...
Nov. 14, 2023 — The discovery of the phantom touch illusion provides insights into human perception and opens up new perspectives for interaction with virtual reality ...
June 27, 2022 — Researchers have developed a virtual robotic limb system which can be operated by users' feet in a virtual environment as extra, or supernumerary, limbs. After training, users reported feeling ...
Oct. 5, 2021 — A new study gives insight into how limb development evolved in vertebrates. The findings identify a gene that plays a central role in the evolution of limb development in vertebrates. By manipulating ...
Dec. 22, 2020 — A new study by neuroscientists demonstrates that the brain does not remap itself even with long-term bionic limb use, posing challenges for the development of realistic prosthetic ...
June 28, 2022 — Scientists reveal their development of a new type of prosthetic using microfluidics-enabled soft robotics that promises to greatly reduce skin ulcerations and pain in patients who have had an ...
Sep. 1, 2021 — Researchers have engineered a bionic arm for patients with upper-limb amputations that allows wearers to think, behave and function like a person without an amputation, according to new findings. The ...
Aug. 18, 2021 — Researchers have developed a new strategy that could offer much more precise control of prosthetic limbs. After inserting small magnetic beads into muscle tissue, they can accurately measure the ...
Feb. 21, 2023 — Strengthening hip muscles could be key to improve mobility in people with a below-the-knee amputation, new research has ...
