Mind-Controlled bionic legs tested in pioneering feasibility study
NCT ID NCT06391697
Summary
This study is testing a new, fully implanted system designed to give people with below-knee amputations more natural and intuitive control over a robotic prosthetic leg. Up to seven participants will have small magnetic beads and electrodes surgically placed in their residual limb to read muscle signals. The goal is to see if this system is safe and feasible for providing long-term, stable control, potentially improving walking and balance.
