Extra-neural signals from severed nerves enable intrinsic hand movements in transhumeral amputations

Abstract Robotic prostheses controlled by myoelectric signals can restore limited but important hand function in individuals with upper limb amputation. The lack of individual finger control highlights the yet insurmountable gap to fully replacing a biological hand. Implanted electrodes around sever...
