Magnets in muscles could make robotic legs move more naturally
NCT ID NCT07195461
Summary
This early study is testing a new system that uses tiny implanted magnetic beads to help people with below-knee amputations control their bionic prosthetic legs more naturally. Up to 5 participants will have the beads placed in their residual limb muscles to track muscle movement, which then sends signals to control a powered ankle prosthesis. Researchers will compare walking speed, stability, and comfort using this new system versus a standard prosthetic controller to see if it's safe and helps people walk better.
