Applying Research to Solve Big Challenges: A STEAM Approach for Electromyographic Bionic Limbs

Interdisciplinary research holds promise to unlock solutions for our world's largest challenges. At Limbitless Solutions, a UCF non-profit, a STEAM focused approach for prosthetics has led to beautiful and functional electromyographic bionic limbs currently being evaluated in clinical trial research. Access to prosthetics can be challenging due to cost and health care limitations, requiring new innovation. Using advanced manufacturing techniques and involving patients in the design of the highly artistic cosmetic sleeves, these methods can transform conversations around stigma and the role of prosthetics. Limbitless Solutions was developed by student researchers at UCF and has grown into a full facility that works with dozens of undergraduate student researchers and interns yearly.
