SL_ST MUSCULE-TENDON-PROSTHESIS-00

I don't understand at all what I'm doing. But it seems rather strange to me not to collect data on muscle movement directly from tendons. I came up with some ideas on this topic. In the first case, make an intermediate interface between live muscles and artificial tendons. Artificial tendons can be directly connected to the prosthesis. Or place an elastic component that will read the mechanical stress on the tendon. That is, connect the muscles through such strain gauge elements and hide them under the skin. A small transmitting module does not require much energy, and it can be charged wirelessly. The data obtained should be sent to an advanced prosthesis, in which all the muscles and many of their intermediate positions can be used. Place pressure sensors on your fingertips and transmit this information to sensitive areas of living skin. I think over time the brain will get used to this and it will be possible to use natural feedback on the force of pressing.
