Robotic nerve ’cuffs’ could help treat a range of neurological conditions

Health - Apr 26

Researchers have developed tiny, flexible devices that can wrap around individual nerve fibres without damaging them. The ability to make an implant that can change shape through electrical activation opens up a range of future possibilities for highly targeted treatments George Malliaras The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, combined flexible electronics and soft robotics techniques to develop the devices, which could be used for the diagnosis and treatment of a range of disorders, including epilepsy and chronic pain, or the control of prosthetic limbs.
