Neural control technologies show promise in joint NCSU-UNC prosthetics project

This image shows the study participant performing a squatting activity with different prosthetic devices. When the participant used his daily prosthesis (left picture) he had a limited range of motion and had to bend his back significantly to lift objects off the ground. When using a neural controlled prosthetic ankle (right picture) he was able to voluntarily control his prosthesis ankle joint force and angle and keep a healthy posture while lifting weight from the ground.

RALEIGH – A recent case study from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill demonstrates that, with training, neural control of a powered prosthetic ankle can restore a wide range of abilities, including standing on very challenging surfaces and squatting. The researchers are currently working with a larger group of study participants to see how broadly applicable the findings may be. ....

Study Shows Powered Prosthetic Ankles Can Restore a Wide Range of Functions for Amputees
A recent case study from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill demonstrates that, with training, neural control of a powered prosthetic ankle can restore a wide range of abilities, including standing on very challenging surfaces and squatting. The researchers are currently working with a larger group of study participants to see how broadly applicable the findings may be.
“This case study shows that it is possible to use these neural control technologies, in which devices respond to electrical signals from a patient’s muscles, to help patients using robotic prosthetic ankles move more naturally and intuitively,” says Helen Huang, corresponding author of the study. Huang is the Jackson Family Distinguished Professor in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at NC State and UNC. ....
