Revolutionary surgery aims to let amputees 'Feel' their bionic arms
NCT ID NCT03882073
Summary
This study is testing a new way to perform arm amputations. The goal is to help patients better control advanced prosthetic arms and regain a sense of where their limb is in space. Researchers will compare the new surgery in 10 patients to traditional amputations in 10 others. They hope this approach creates a better biological link between the patient's nerves and a future prosthetic device.
