Targeted Reinnervation for Improved Prosthetic Function

Target motor reinnervation can produce additional myoelectric control signals for improved powered prosthesis control. This reinnervation allows simultaneous operation of multiple functions in an externally powered prosthesis with physiologically appropriate pathways, and it provides more intuitive control than is possible with conventional myoelectric prostheses. Target sensory reinnervation has the potential to provide the sensory feed-back to...
