[AMP-L] Better Control Systems for Prosthetics

[Wayne Renardson]

via Brown U. News:

Team from MIT and Brown demonstrates the accuracy and safety of using 
magnetic sensors to track muscle length during movement, which could 
make it easier for people with amputations to control prosthetic  
limbs.   

Using a simple set of magnets, researchers from the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology and Brown University have come up with a 
sophisticated way to monitor muscle movements, which they hope will 
make it easier for people with amputations to control their 
prosthetic limbs.
