Magnetic sensors inside the muscles will allow you to control prosthetic limbs

(ORDO NEWS) — American scientists have proposed to track muscle tension using magnetic sensors implanted inside the body. In their study, they showed that the system can calculate muscle length in less than milliseconds, and the sensors themselves are biocompatible and safe. In the future, the technology will improve existing prosthetic limb control systems. Using a simple system of magnets, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) have invented…
