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 ...

Cognitive pressure disrupts muscle control and blood flow, highlighting its role in physical performance during low-intensity ...

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.

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, ...

A genetic tendency for a strong grip is linked to better cognitive health in older adults. Researchers recently discovered ...

Muscle tone after 55 doesn’t disappear overnight; it fades when muscles stop receiving consistent, meaningful tension. Gym ...

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 ...

Back pain is common and complicated. But altering your workout to build control and stability can help prevent it. Credit...Cole Barash for The New York Times Supported by By Rachel Fairbank The past ...

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 ...
