Synopsis

Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a new approach to accessing motor control signals from peripheral nerves after amputation and providing sensory feedback to prosthesis users. This practical approach has many advantages over other neural-machine interfaces for the improved control of artificial limbs. With contributions from renowned leaders in the field, including the developers of the technology, this book provides a template for the clinical implementation of TMR and a powerful resource for further research in this new area of science.
