Implantable devices for bidirectional communication with bionic limbs have been developed in parallel with research on physiological alterations caused by an amputation. In this perspective article, we question whether increasing our effort on bridging these technologies with a deeper understanding of amputation pathophysiology and human motor control may help to overcome pressing stalls in the next generation of bionic limbs.Engineering, BiomedicalNeurosciencesEngineeringNeurosciences & Neurologybidirectionallimbprosthesesneuromuscularsensory feedbackimplantstargeted reinnervationnervous-systemamputeesreorganizationinterfaceshandtext::journal::journal article::research article
