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.
