About
Dr. Stefan Salminger is a leading figure in the field of neural prosthetics and bionic reconstruction, with a career dedicated to restoring intuitive motor control for upper-limb amputees. His primary research focuses on developing advanced man-machine interfaces that bridge the gap between the human nervous system and robotic limbs. Dr. Salminger’s major contributions lie in the synergistic combination of targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) and implantable electromyography (EMG) technology. By redirecting severed nerves to remnant muscles, TMR amplifies neural signals, which his team then captures with wireless, intramuscular sensors. This "broadband" approach, detailed in his highly cited 2019 work (143 citations), has enabled above-elbow amputees to achieve long-term, wireless control of robotic arms, decoding spinal motor neuron activity for more natural, multi-degree-of-freedom movement. His pioneering work has not only produced some of the most intuitive prosthetic control systems to date but has also established a new clinical standard for bionic interfaces, profoundly impacting the quality of life for individuals with limb loss.
