Abstract in brief

Scientists have struggled for years to create artificial legs that can mimic the natural movement of biological limbs, mainly due to the complex neural controls involved.
A new study proposes that enhancing the remaining muscle connections in amputees can significantly improve their ability to control bionic limbs, leading to more natural walking patterns.
Results from testing this approach in seven amputees showed a 41% increase in walking speed and better adaptation to different environments, suggesting even minor improvements in muscle signaling can greatly enhance mobility for amputees.
