Computer-on-Modules Enable First Bionic Leg with No Surgery or Implants
From: Medical Design Technology - 12/29/2015

Small Form Factor Computer Technology Solves Complexities of
Thought-Controlled Leg Prosthetics

Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago has developed the first neural-controlled
bionic leg, using no nerve redirection surgery or implanted sensors. It's a
powerful advancement in prosthetics, including motorized knee and ankle, and
control enabled by the patient’s own neural signals. Powered by a tiny but
powerful Computer-on-Module platform, this thought-controlled prosthetic
represents a significant breakthrough in medical embedded design, improving
patients' lives and mobility with a prosthetic that more closely than ever
acts like a fully-functioning natural limb.
