Graduate student Peyton Young works with a robotic arm controlled by electromyography (EMG) signals. Young has now developed a technique to use pressure measurements from muscles (force myography, FMG ...

Electrical signals from wrist muscles can be used to control prosthetic limbs or gloves for virtual reality, but individual differences in skin, age and body size can make it difficult for some people ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in brain-machine interfaces. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

DALLAS, Oct. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists from The University of Texas at Dallas presented a groundbreaking new approach for improving control of prosthetics with the use of artificial ...

As AI powered prosthetic arms become more advanced, a surprising detail could determine whether they truly feel like part of the body: how fast they move.

A 2022 study published in the National Library of Medicine at the National Center for Biotechnology Information found that more than 44% of people with upper limb loss abandon their prostheses, citing ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have come up with a better prosthetic hand that uses a hybrid design to carefully grip various objects with just the right amount of pressure. The robotic ...

Combining two different kinds of signals could help engineers build prosthetic limbs that better reproduce natural movements, according to a new study. A combination of electromyography and force ...

Experimental armband can measure both electrical (top row) and pressure signals from arm muscles. Signals from either or both sensors were fed into an algorithm as participants moved their hands with ...
