MIT researchers are working on methods that help people dealing with amputation to control high-tech bionic prosthetic limbs. There are several major challenges to bringing bionic prosthetic limbs to ...

Magnets could potentially offer better control for people with prosthetic limbs. System uses small magnetic beads in order to rapidly measure the position of every single muscle and relay that ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- For people with amputation who have prosthetic limbs, one of the greatest challenges is controlling the prosthesis so that it moves the same way a natural limb would. Most prosthetic ...

With a system that uses magnetic beads to measure muscle position, amputees could make prosthetic limbs move just the way they’ve envisioned. People who use prosthetic limbs after an amputation often ...
