Are you with Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory?
Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) developed the Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL), a highly dexterous upper-limb prosthesis with 22 degrees of freedom in the hand, designed primarily as a research platform for testing neural control interfaces. It restores near-natural motor function for upper-extremity amputees and is used in DARPA-funded research, including direct skeletal attachment trials with patients like Johnny Matheny. APL operates in the US, focusing on advanced prosthetics R&D.
