Cedars-Sinai investigators found a new way to control prosthetic devices using brain signals. Their preclinical findings, if confirmed in clinical studies, could help stroke survivors control external ...

A new brain-controlled bionic limb has the ability to help people with leg amputations more easily navigate obstacles and walk more quickly, a new study published in the journal Nature Medicine shows.

Phantom Neuro Founder and CEO Connor Glass, M.D., will use muscle implants to help amputees control prosthetic devices.

The science fiction trope of humans superpowered by computer and bionic implants is fast becoming a reality, and today, a startup hoping for a role in how that plays out is announcing some funding.

While a number of groups are developing thought-controlled prosthetic hands, most of the devices require electrodes or other relatively fiddly electronics to be implanted in the amputee's body. Such ...

Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi examine Hanger’s 2025 acquisition of Point Designs, tracing its University of ...

The prosthetics field’s main problem isn’t just designing better devices — it’s the lack of data to guide which device is best for each patient, according to one executive in the space. Josh Caputo, ...

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 ...

At the heart of this breakthrough is a surgical procedure known as the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface, or AMI. Unlike traditional amputation methods, the AMI reconnects muscles in the residual ...

Summary: Rising incidence of limb loss due to trauma, diabetes, and vascular diseases, growing adoption of advanced prosthetic technologies, and increasing demand for lightweight, customizable ...

For those whose lives have been changed by the need for a prosthetic, these devices offer far more than just physical replacement — they also provide emotional restoration. From artificial limbs and ...

Lacey Fredrick, who lost her arm in a 2023 crash involving a police pursuit, is pioneering the use of a new prosthetic hand, the Metacarpal GEM.
