ETH Library presents Episode 2 - The current state of research

The VariLeg team and Werner Witschi train with the exoskeleton. They achieve an initial success: Werner Witschi’s improved physical awareness. However, another result of the therapy with the exoskeleton outshines them all. For some years now, it has been possible to control prosthetics via muscle impulses.  

Professor Stanisa Raspopovic has been fascinated by this since early childhood and works to constantly improve the systems involved. His team developed a prosthetic that enables patients to “feel” again. He believes this will have far-reaching and positive effects on our society.
