Advancements in Neuroprosthetics and Prosthetic Limbs

The chapter explores a scientific study involving a new neuroprosthesis controlled by the nervous system to improve natural movement sensations for amputees with limb loss. The discussion includes details on a new amputation technique paired with a bionic leg, the use of pressure sensors in artificial limbs for direct user control, and the integration of proprioception for enhanced spatial awareness. Additionally, the chapter discusses the impact of future advancements in prosthetics, such as integrating tactile information for better functionality and user experience.
