Mind-controlled bionic limb merges with bone in groundbreaking surgery

A Swedish patient named Karin has become the first person to receive a robotic limb fused with both her nervous and skeletal systems. The intelligent artificial limb, called the Mia Hand, was developed by Italian company Prensilia and is controlled by Karin's mind. The limb was attached to a metal implant in her bone, and the nerves and muscles in her residual limb were rearranged to allow for motor control. This groundbreaking technology has significantly reduced Karin's phantom limb pain and improved her quality of life. Researchers believe that this development has the potential to revolutionize the field of advanced extremity reconstructions and help amputees regain functionality and independence.
