Prosthetic Technology Innovation And Breakthroughs

Prosthetic technology innovation and breakthroughs
1. Realization of brain-controlled prostheses:
Professor Hugh M. Herr's team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published a breakthrough research result in Nature Medicine. They developed a new neuroprosthetic interface that captures electromyographic signals (EMG) through flexible electrodes. ) to help amputees autonomously control bionic prostheses. This technology allows amputees to naturally control prosthetic limbs to perform various movements like normal people, such as walking quickly, going up and down slopes, climbing stairs, and crossing obstacles (Source: "Nature Medicine" journal).
2. Wide application of smart prosthetics:
Companies such as BrainCo have made significant progress in the field of smart prosthetics. Their smart bionic hands can realize the mind control of amputees through brain-computer interface technology to complete complex finger movements and daily interaction tasks. For example, at the opening ceremony of the Asian Paralympic Games, Chinese swimmer Xu Jialing used her smart bionic hand to light the torch (Source: WeChat public platform).
