UT Arlington researchers to build wearable interface to make prosthetics more comfortable

Sensors to the rescueUT Arlington researchers have been awarded a $744,300 grant from the Department of Defense Peer Reviewed Orthapaedic Research Program to create an adaptive interface that fits between a prosthetic and a patient’s limb so that the fit and comfort of the prosthetic are improved. Haiying Huang, professor in the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Department , and Muthu Wijesundara, principal research scientist at UT Arlington’s Research Institute , are collaborating on the project. The interface will resemble an
