For decades, researchers at the University of Utah have been developing technologies to restore motor and sensory functions, such as movement and the sense of touch, in people who have lost those abilities due to injury or disease. Today, thanks to that research legacy, individuals with amputations can control a robotic arm simply by thinking, making it feel like an extension of their own body. This is just one example of the innovative tools being developed and tested, in partnership with patients and the Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital, to assist people with limited mobility.
