Restoring Natural Sensation to Leg Prostheses (1 of 4)

image: A schematic demonstrating the control mechanism of the neural interface. The subject's leg movement is sent to the prosthesis as an EMG signal (blue arrows), and the movement of the prosthesis is communicated back to the subject's nervous system (green arrow). This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 30 May, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by T.R. Clites at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA; and colleagues was titled, "Proprioception from a neurally controlled lower-extremity prosthesis." view more
