flag A U.S. soldier regained touch sensation in a prosthetic arm via implanted electrodes and sensors in a Walter Reed trial.

flag A U.S. soldier with a below-elbow amputation has regained the sense of touch through a neural-enabled prosthetic arm in a clinical trial at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. flag Developed by University of Arkansas researchers, the device uses implanted electrodes and fingertip sensors to send tactile feedback to the brain, allowing the soldier to feel objects without looking. flag This advancement, driven by Defense Department efforts to improve prosthetics for combat-related injuries, marks a major step toward more intuitive, natural limb function by restoring sensory experience lost in standard prosthetics.
