Researchers demonstrated a magnet-based system that can track the location of muscles and could be used to help people control prosthetic limbs and other wearable robotic devices. Using a simple set ...

Human movement is reciprocal in nature: Opposing muscle groups must coordinate for proper movement. Muscle length and strength between opposing muscle groups need to be in balance for normal movement ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Using a simple set of magnets, MIT researchers have come up with a sophisticated way to monitor muscle movements, which they hope will make it easier for people with amputations to ...
