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 ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...

Selecting the right mobility equipment is crucial for anyone eager to maintain an active lifestyle after limb loss. Whether you’re training for a marathon, hiking, or enjoying everyday activities, the ...

A new robotic prosthetic leg prototype offers a more natural gait while also being quieter and more energy efficient than other designs. The key is the use of new small and powerful motors, originally ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

BEFORE HUGH Herr became a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he was a promising rock climber. But after being trapped in a blizzard during a climb at age 17, he lost both ...
