Eric J. Earley, PhD, joined the Limb Restoration Program at the University of Colorado (UC) School of Medicine and UCHealth in Colorado as an assistant research professor in the orthopedics department.
He brings expertise in prosthetic limb technology and was part of a Swedish research team that developed a system allowing people with transhumeral amputations achieve an unprecedented level of control over the individual fingers on a bionic hand.
Earley was a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Bionics and Pain Research at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden.
UCHealth’s Osseointegration Research Consortium, led by Jason Stoneback, MD, is focused on developing and improving bone-anchored limb technology aimed at creating prosthetic limbs that can be directly inserted into bones, as opposed to the traditional prosthesis that attaches via a socket that goes around the outside of the residual limb.
