When someone undergoes hand amputation, they essentially have two options: a prosthetic, or a hand transplant. But which works better? According to a recent Medgadget article, scientists at the University of Missouri-Columbia intend to find out. The team developed a system of sensors that gather data on amputees as they go about their normal daily activities. The data they gather will help inform personalized treatments for patients, and let clinicians track recovery and mobility in a variety of conditions that involve hand movement like MS or stroke.
