Associate Professor of Orthopaedics Douglas Hutchinson recently received a subaward from Arizona State University through the Department of Defense's Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program for the proposal entitled, "Using Arrays of Microelectrodes Implanted in Residual Peripheral Nerves to Provide Dextrous Control of, and Modulated Sensory feedback from, a Hand Prosthesis." The overarching goal of the three-year project is to provide a prosthetic hand that is controlled by the residual arm nerves of a patient who has suffered a forearm amputation.
