UCF’s Limbitless Solutions will lead a new, first-of-its-kind clinical trial this spring to examine how the brain adapts to advanced, bionic arms in children born without a limb. Officials said the four-month clinical trial will examine if Limbitless’ prosthetic, paired with its custom training video game, will impact the motor control center of the brain.
“It may provide new insight to how the brain’s motor cortex adapts to learning how to use our organic, or robotic, limbs,” says Albert Manero, executive director and co-founder of Limbitless Solutions.
