A novel surgical technique could dramatically improve walking for people with below-the-knee amputations and help them better control their prosthetics. A study published Monday in Nature Medicine ...

Johnson’s prosthetic limb has evolved to include a leg made of a combination of wood and PVC pipe and a crepe foam foot. Johnson’s first above-the-knee prototype costs just over $170 and will be ...

Graduate students in the prosthetics and orthotics program also are learning how to use melted polypropylene to wrap a model leg — cast from one of their fellow students — and to cut and smooth it to ...

New software which personalises prosthetic leg fittings based on data from previous patients could help reduce NHS waiting lists, a study has found. The data-driven fittings for below the knee ...

A new report establishes the feasibility of using a state-of-the-art pattern recognition system to improve control of a robotic leg. With the new system, which uses electromyographic (EMG) signals ...

Researchers have developed a new, data-driven way of fitting prosthetic legs which could lead to better fitting prosthetics, in less time and at a lower cost. The technology has been developed by ...
