A prosthetic arm that decodes phantom limb movements

(CNRS) About 75 percent of amputees exhibit mobility of their phantom limb. Using this information, in collaboration with physicians, researchers from CNRS and Aix-Marseille University have developed a prototype capable of detecting these movements and activating a prosthetic arm. The prosthesis does not require any surgery and patients do not need training. The results are published on Nov. 29, 2018 in Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology.
