UNC researcher leads team in technological advances for prostheses


He (Helen) Huang, PhD, director of the Closed-Loop Advance Engineering for Rehabilitation at the University of North Carolina/North Carolina State University, leads a team of researchers that have found ways to control prosthetic hands and wrists with neuromuscular signals. The team has also created a hip exoskeleton and developed an AI-powered prosthetic knee that uses reinforcement learning to help amputees improve their walking gait faster.  O&P Almanac (Adobe Flash required)
