During the last two days, AI-Hand 2023 project partners from the CAMIN Team (INRIA), Neurinnov and USSAP conducted a session of a non-invasive clinical study.
10 participants with tetraplegia tested their ability to modulate virtual force levels for grasping using TargetTrack serious game developed by Inria.

In the future medical device developed within AI-HAND, Neurinnov will offer different user interfaces that were tested for several months with 30 volunteers: inertial sensors detecting voluntary shoulder movements; electromyographic sensors detecting voluntary muscle contractions; buttons; a joystick; voice control.
These research insights will help finetune the user piloting modalities of the future implanted medical device, which aims to restore hand functionalities in tetraplegic patients.
