For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years ...

In the last few decades, individuals with mobility issues have seen a flurry of advancements in neuroprosthetic devices, artificial systems that seek to replace a particular sensation or lost ability.

Researchers developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Their optogenetic technique could offer more precise control over muscle contraction, along with a dramatic ...

Leg strength exercises after 60, a CSCS coach shares 4 standing moves to rebuild leg muscle with better control than lunges.

Bedtime routine for muscle tone after 50, a CSCS shares a 7-minute night reset to activate glutes and core without a gym.

A project at MIT has investigated whether optogenetics could be a better way to drive muscle contraction in clinical treatments than traditional electrical stimulation. Published in Science Robotics, ...

Ataxia is the loss of muscle control in your arms and legs. Ataxia may cause you to lose your balance and walk with an unsteady gait. You may feel dizzy, clumsy, or unable to coordinate and control ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

MIT researchers have developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Instead of using electricity to stimulate muscles, they used light. Here, Guillermo Herrera-Arcos ...
