[AMP-L] UA, and Walter Reed Team Up to Expand Prosthetic-hand Trial

via Arkansas Democrat Gazelle:

For the first time, the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville is 
collaborating with Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, 
studying a prosthetic hand system that could assist upper-limb 
amputees.  

The university's Institute for Integrative and Innovative Research 
(I³R) has been awarded a $4.9 million grant from the U.S. Department 
of Defense to expand a clinical trial at the university campus for an 
innovative neural-enabled prosthesis and include Walter Reed -- a 
premier clinic for patients with amputations and one of only three 
military hospitals that treat traumatic upper-extremity amputations 
-- as an additional clinical trial site, according to the university.
