A research team led by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, has, for the first time, successfully decoded leg movements directly from the remaining nerves in people with above-knee amputations. Using novel implantable neurotechnology and an AI method based on the nervous system’s own “language,” the researchers could do what was previously impossible and interpret detailed movements—even the will to wiggle toes. This technology opens the way to future leg prostheses that feel and act more like a natural part of the body.
