Prosthetic legs controlled by a person's own neural system can help restore a natural walking gait, researchers found. Photo by Hugh Herr and Hyungeun Song/HealthDay News "Smart" prosthetic legs can ...

Ross Holland discovered a unique way to wear his prosthetic legs by turning the feet backward. "It's so much more comfortable ...

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

State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don't give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic sensors ...

Locomotor disability is a significant problem in India, with an estimated 1% of the population suffering from it. Of them, 7.7% are transfemoral amputees. Transfemoral amputation also known as “above ...

A first-of-its-kind study demonstrated that a new nervous system-controlled bionic leg helps leg amputees walk more naturally than traditional prosthesis. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Humans rarely walk the straight and narrow; something's always in the way. So scientists are developing a computer-controlled artificial limb that can turn like a flesh-and-blood foot. Walking is ...

"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 ...

Walking is tricky business, as any toddler knows. And while most artificial feet and limbs do a pretty good job restoring mobility to people who have lost a leg, they have a ways to go before they ...
