CAMBRIDGE, MA -- MIT researchers have invented a new type of amputation surgery that can help amputees to better control their residual muscles and sense where their "phantom limb" is in space. This ...

MIT researchers invented a technique that preserves crucial muscle communication—and it has even more benefits than expected. Most amputations sever the muscle pairs that control joints such as the ...

Researchers demonstrated a magnet-based system that can track the location of muscles and could be used to help people control prosthetic limbs and other wearable robotic devices. Using a simple set ...

The Kennedy College of Sciences, Department of Biological Sciences, invites you to attend a Ph.D. Proposal Defense in Applied Biology by Brandon Reder entitled "Morphological and physiological ...

Researchers and surgeons have devised a new type of amputation surgery that can help amputees better control their residual muscles and receive sensory feedback. This restored sense of proprioception ...
