(Vienna, June 19, 2026) Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna, in collaboration with ETH Zurich, the Technical University of Munich, and the Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade, have developed a wearable neurorobotic system that combines electrical neurostimulation with hand exoskeletons.
In a clinical study involving 14 patients with hand impairments resulting from neurological injuries, the technology improved finger mobility, tactile perception, and grip control. The results demonstrate the potential of personalized assistive systems for people living with the effects of spinal cord or brain injuries. The study was recently published in the journal *Science Advances*.
