Mind-Controlled bionic leg restores natural movement and feeling
NCT ID NCT03913273
Summary
This study tested a new approach to help people with below-knee amputations control a bionic leg more naturally. Researchers compared a special surgical technique that reconnects muscles in the residual limb to a standard amputation. The goal was to see if this new method, combined with a smart prosthetic leg, could improve control, stability on different surfaces, and even restore a sense of where the limb is in space.
