We use our arms to transport and orient the hand which is used to grasp and manipulate objects. Upper limb paralysis or amputation limits a person’s ability to interact with their environment to accomplish activities of daily living. Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) may provide a solution to restoring much of this function. Two 96-channel intracortical microelectrodes were implanted in the motor cortex of an individual with tetraplegia. Thirteen weeks of BMI training were conducted with the goal of controlling an anthropomorphic prosthetic limb with 7 degrees-of-freedom (3D translation, 3D orientation, 1D grasping). Clinical measures of upper-limb function were used to assess the participant’s ability to use the prosthetic limb. The participant demonstrated the ability to move the device freely in the three-dimensional (3D) workspace on the second day of training. After 13 weeks, robust 7 degree-of-freedom movements were performed routinely. Over time, performance on target-based reaching tasks improved in terms of success rate, completion time, and path efficiency. The participant was also able to use the prosthetic limb to perform skillful and coordinated reach and grasp movements that resulted in clinically significant gains in tests of upper-limb function. This study demonstrates that a person with chronic tetraplegia can perform consistent, natural, and complex movements with an anthropomorphic robotic arm to regain clinically significant function.
