Idaho State University (ISU), located in Pocatello, has received
an $842,000 grant from the United States Department of Defense
(DoD) to develop a highly advanced prosthetic hand. Called “Smart
Prosthetic Hand Technology,” the project’s aim is to build a
prosthesis that will “use nerve signals to fully simulate natural
grasping, lifting, and twisting hand motions,” according to
ISU.
