Breakthrough Prosthetic Restores Touch and Temperature Sensation

A groundbreaking development in prosthetic technology has given an Italian amputee the ability to sense temperature and touch for the first time.

This innovative device marks a significant advancement in restoring sensory feedback for individuals with limb amputations.

Pioneering Technology:

Researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland have created a prosthetic limb equipped with tiny heat sensors. These sensors, implanted at the fingertip of the prosthesis, are connected to nerve endings in the patient's remaining arm. This allows signals from the external environment to travel directly to the brain, recreating the perception of temperature.

Successful Trial:

Fabrizio, a 57-year-old Italian man who lost his right arm in his youth, participated in year-long trials with the new device. The results were promising, with Fabrizio demonstrating the ability to accurately distinguish between objects of different temperatures, even when visually identical.
