Russian scientists are developing prostheses using augmented reality technologies and biocompatible microelectrodes. This was announced by the head of the Federal Medical-Biological Agency (FMBA), Veronika Skvortsova, at the EEF-2025.
The first area of development involves creating microelectrodes that can be implanted into the endings of sensitive and motor peripheral nerves. This allows for the elimination of phantom pain and the normalization of nerve impulse conduction.
The second area uses virtual and augmented reality. Patients with residual limbs train in a virtual environment, correctly tensing various muscle groups. Thanks to this, after putting on the prosthesis, it is easier for them to perform familiar movements. Skvortsova emphasized that this approach increases the convenience and effectiveness of using prostheses.
