About Neuro-Controlled Bionic Arm
The Neuro-Controlled Bionic Arm was developed by Dr. Todd Kuiken, MD,PhD. Kuiken's vision of using nerve transfers for improved control of prostheses allows for simultaneous operation of multiple joints with more natural, intuitive control and greater ease. This research has enabled an individual with shoulder disarticulation amputations the ability to control 6 joints including a powered shoulder, arm rotator, elbow, 2 wrist movement and a hand. Another component of nerve transfer surgery is the that hand sensation nerves grow into different skin and can provide sensation to amputees so that they feel what they are holding with the prosthesis as if it where in their missing hand. The technique also has the potential to allow control of motorized legs and the ability for amputees to 'feel' the ground they are walking on.
