Regenerative Nerve Interface Enhances Precision and Durability of Hand Prostheses (7 of 12)

image: During a critical testing session for the University of Michigan RPNI study, Alex Vaskov, robotics Ph.D. candidate, Cindy Chestek, associate professor of biomedical engineering, and Karen Sussex, study participant, examine parameters for a prosthetic control exercise. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Mar. 4, 2020, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by P.P. Vu at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI; and colleagues was titled, "A regenerative peripheral nerve interface allows real-time control of an artificial hand in upper limb amputees." view more
