Additional information

A key limitation of commercial hand prostheses is that their control mechanisms are primitive compared to the human hand. This paper, which describes how hand muscles can learn to control partial hand prostheses optimally, is the outcome of a RoyalSoc International Exchange project (IE110901, PI: Nazarpour) with Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Italy (co-author, Cipriani). After the research was performed, Nazarpour joined Touch Bionics, UK (Hugh Gill, +441506445412) where he refined this method and filed a patent application (UK1302025-2013). This technique enhances Touch Bionics’ “ilimb digits” product functionality. Sales revenues are expected to increase by £2.2M (2014-2017).
