Mind over matter? Neurological sensor technology and prosthetics
Prosthetics are primed for a revolution with the continuing advancement of technology. With improved movement, structure and range, today's prosthetics are miles ahead of what they were in the past. They have evolved into being a part of the human body rather than an awkward piece of equipment.
One of the people at the front lines of prosthetics evolution is Michael McLoughlin, program manager and chief engineer for the Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory, who has lead the development of “modular prosthetic limb” technologies responsible for the most life-like prosthetics on the market today.
In an interview with STAT, McLoughlin spoke about his work on making most advanced prosthetics in the nation.
