World premiere of muscle and nerve controlled arm prosthesis

For the first time an operation has been conducted, at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, where electrodes have been permanently implanted in nerves and muscles of an amputee to directly control an arm prosthesis. The result allows natural control of an advanced robotic prosthesis, similarly to the motions of a natural limb.

Världspremiär för muskel- och nervstyrd armprotes

För första gången någonsin har en operation genomförts på Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset där en armprotes har fästs permanent med hjälp av elektroder på muskler och nerver hos en patient som är amputerad. Resultatet är att styrningen av en avancerad robotprotes förbättrats och liknar rörelsemönstret hos en mänsklig arm.
