Prosthetic Limb Offers Natural Gait via Neural Control

Summary: A new neuroprosthetic interface allows prosthetic limbs to be controlled by the body’s nervous system, resulting in a natural walking gait. The surgery reconnects muscles, providing proprioceptive feedback, enabling users to walk faster and navigate obstacles more effectively. The study compared patients with this interface to those with traditional prosthetics, finding significant improvements in movement and coordination. This breakthrough offers promising advancements in prosthetic technology and patient care. Key Facts: - The new neuroprosthetic interface reconnects muscles, enhancing natural …
