Individual Prosthetic Finger Control Via Ultrasonic Sensor Developed at Georgia Tech From: Rehab Management - 12/14/2017 An ultrasonic sensor designed to allow amputees to control each individual finger in their prosthetic hand has helped an amputee - a musician - play the piano for the first time since his injury, note researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology. Jason Barnes, a musician, lost his hand and most of his forearm 5 years ago due to a work accident. The muscles in his residual limb work with the sensor to control his fingers. The sensor is able to provide fine motor hand gestures that aren't possible with current commercially available devices, the researchers suggest, in a media release from Georgia Institute of Technology.
