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 ...

People with leg amputations were able to control their prosthetic limbs with their brains in a significant scientific advance that allows for a smoother gait and enhanced ability to navigate obstacles ...

"Smart" prosthetic legs can help amputees achieve a natural walking gait, but it's done through robotic sensors and algorithms that drive the limb forward at predetermined rates. A better way would be ...

A new technology could reduce NHS waiting lists for prosthetic legs by half, a study has found. The software personalises prosthetic leg fittings based on data from previous patients. The data-driven ...

A man who built his own prosthetic leg after facing a £35k bill has now designed a new one with a paddle for swimming – using ...

A new brain-controlled bionic limb has the ability to help people with leg amputations more easily navigate obstacles and walk more quickly, a new study published in the journal Nature Medicine shows.

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

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 ...

Kicking a ball or climbing stairs with ease after a leg amputation above the knee is now within reach. Researchers at MIT have developed a bionic knee that redefines mobility for above-the-knee ...
