Split hand syndrome is a potential sign of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This means that some of the muscles in the hand are weak and thin (atrophied), while others are less affected.

Whether it happens in your hand, leg, or another part of your body, cramping is often related to muscle fatigue, and there can be a variety of triggers. “Cramping can be caused by dehydration, ...

Handgrip strength is inversely linked to the incidence of age-related macular degeneration, according to a study published online Dec. 5 in Aging Clinical and Experimental Research. Kaiser Permanente ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

Researchers out of Northwestern University have developed a unique technology that delivers signals from the brain directly to muscles in the hand. The system bypasses the spinal cord, thus enabling ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

The complex combination of movements required for this simple scissor gesture is a big step up from the capabilities of previous biohybrid robots. A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a ...
