In the latest study, the device used electromyographic sensors placed on the calf to capture electrical activity generated by muscles when they are flexed. This signal tells the roboticThe team evaluated the participants' neuromuscular coordination using a voluntary sway task where participants swayed forward and backward while keeping their feet flat on the ground for 25 consecutive sways.
“Basically, muscle activation patterns when using the prototype prosthetic were very similar to the patterns we see in people who have full use of two intact lower limbs. That tells us that the prototype we developed mimics the body’s behavior closely enough to allow people’s ‘normal’ neural patterns to return. This is important, because it suggests that the technology will be somewhat intuitive for users,” she explained.
