Evaluation of a Neural-Controlled Powered Prosthesis Across Diverse Real-World Tasks
Sponsor: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance and adaptability of a neural-controlled powered knee or ankle prosthesis across diverse real-world mobility tasks. This research aims to assess how compare the sense of embodiment with the device, symmetry, and stability of a person with an lower-extremity amputation walking with a bionic prosthesis and their prescribed prosthesis. Findings from this study will inform future developments in bionic prosthesis design with optimal integration with the human body, with the goal of improving prosthetic integration into daily life.
