Scientists test 'feeling' prosthetic legs with brain signals
NCT ID NCT03409133
Summary
This study is testing whether small implanted electrodes can help lower limb amputees feel sensations from their missing foot and leg. Researchers will implant electrodes on nerves in the residual limb to send electrical signals that mimic natural sensations. Participants may also receive additional electrodes to help control robotic prosthetic legs more naturally during walking and other activities.
