About
Katarina Dejanovic is a pioneering researcher in the field of advanced prosthetics, specializing in the restoration of motor function for upper limb amputees. Her work centers on the development of the MyoKinetic prosthesis, a groundbreaking system that uses implanted magnets to enable intuitive, precise control of prosthetic hands. Dejanovic's major contribution is the translation of magnetic tracking technology from concept to clinical application, demonstrating that patients can regain natural grasping and fine motor skills. Her 2024 paper, "Restoration of grasping in an upper limb amputee using the myokinetic prosthesis with implanted magnets," has already garnered 23 citations, underscoring its immediate impact on the field. This study, along with her 2023 foundational work, highlights her ability to bridge surgical innovation and engineering to solve a critical challenge: restoring independence and quality of life for individuals with hand loss. Dejanovic’s research not only advances neural interface technology but also sets a new standard for non-invasive, durable prosthetic control, making her a leading voice in rehabilitative robotics and human-machine integration.
