Biomedical Engineering’s Dustin Tyler discusses research in prostheses technology

CWRU, Cleveland Clinic teams win $6.9 million from Department of Defense for prosthetic limb work

The Plain DealerDustin Tyler, associate professor of biomedical engineering, leads a team of researchers that recently was awarded $4.4 million to continue working on prosthetics that provide sensory feedback.
“At the end of this project we’ll have a fully implanted in-home system that has control using 16 different muscles, and sensory feedback for as many as 96 different channels of information,” Tyler said. “This is a quantum leap in the technology that’s available in prostheses.”
