Scientists design novel system that can turn on sensation of movement of missing arm, in persons with upper limb amputation, helping them control their bionic prosthetic limb to perform more precise ...

The FES Center will host a symposium titled “Five Decades of Restoring Upper Extremity Movement with Neuroprostheses” Friday, Jan. 10, beginning at 9 a.m. in the Maltz Performing Arts Center. This ...

Engineers from Harvard University have developed a soft, wearable robotic device for movement assistance. The robot combines machine learning and a physics-based model to learn each user’s unique ...

A team of researchers has published first-of-its-kind findings on a new method of restoring natural movement sensation in patients with prosthetic arms. The research team has successfully engineered a ...

Spasticity is involuntary overactivity of muscles that occurs following upper motor neuron damage to the brain or spinal cord. Upper limb spasticity is common after stroke and can cause deformity, ...

Neurobiologists have shown that insect limbs can move without muscles -- a finding that may provide engineers with new ways to improve the control of robotic and prosthetic limbs. Neurobiologists from ...
