A new surgical technique for below-the-knee amputations retains a person’s ability to receive sensory feedback from remaining muscles. Having a prosthetic leg driven by an amputee’s own nervous system ...

The finding is the first to validate the test as a tool to measure performance for lower-limb amputees using bone-anchored prostheses. The study was published recently in the Journal of Bone & Joint ...

With a wrench in hand, Andrea Modica makes a final adjustment to the gleaming metallic joint on the prosthetic leg strapped to his left thigh. He stands and walks a few steps along the neon-lit ...

Thanks to a neural interface, people can move this bionic limb naturally—just by thinking about it. When someone loses part of a leg, a prosthetic can make it easier to get around. But most ...

Demonstration of the robotic prosthetic ankle. Electromyographic sensors (on calf at left) capture electrical activity generated by muscles when they are flexed. This signal tells the prosthesis which ...
