The NoProblem project addresses the issue of innovation in upper limb prosthetics with an approach that aims to
 

• Increase the dissemination of innovative sensorimotor control strategies, also outside the structured environments represented by development and testing laboratories;
• Broaden the pool of users of innovative prostheses with effective control, extending it also to patients with very proximal injuries;
• Improve the quality of the user experience of innovative upper limb prostheses and their reliability and robustness.
   

The collaboration between the Bio-Medical Campus and the Centro Protesi Inail, with the sharing of instrumental and human resources, complementary technical-scientific and clinical expertise dedicated to the topic, is the main asset of NoProblem. 
The Artificial Hands Area of the Institute of Biorobotics of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna will contribute to the project with its expertise in the development and validation of implantable magnetic markers and related tracking system for prosthesis control and sensory feedback, and will participate in the possible integration of OHMG osseointegrated systems.
 

In fact, the research group has acquired in-depth knowledge of these systems within the framework of previous international projects of particular relevance, including the ERC-MYKI that led to the development of an innovative prosthetic control via magnet implantation, and the H2020 DeTOP that contributed to the realisation of osseointegration implants applicable to different levels of amputation.
