Magnets in muscles could give amputees more natural control of robotic legs
Disease control
Recruiting now
This early study is testing a new system that uses tiny implanted magnetic beads to help people with below-knee amputations control a robotic prosthetic leg. The beads track muscle movement in the remaining limb, sending signals to the prosthesis to make it move more intuitively.…
