Artificial muscle aids paralytic hand grasp device
Dr Kenneth Landauer of the National Foundation announced a major breakthrough at Rancho Los Amigos Hospital in Hondo. Doctors and technicians developed an artificial muscle for a paralyzed hand that can power an assistive device. The system uses a rubber lined tube and carbon dioxide to contract the forearm linked mechanism. The device operates via a simple valve controlled by residual movement, such as shifting a leg. The National Foundation plans a crash program to develop the device further.
