When a person loses a leg above the knee, the nerves that once moved that leg don’t simply go quiet. They keep firing.

In A Nutshell For the first time in humans, scientists decoded intended movements across all three joints of a missing leg, including knee, ankle, and toes, directly from nerve signals. Tiny electrode ...

A research team led by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, has, for the first time, successfully ...

India, March 18 -- A new study published in Science describes a tissue-integrated bionic knee that directly connects prosthetic technology with muscles, bone, and the nervous system.

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 ...

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 ...

Amputees have been outfitted with a prosthesis that is integrated with muscle and bone. The new creation allows patients to walk faster and avoid obstacles better than they could with past prostheses.

Heat generated by alternating magnetic fields (AMF) helps common antibiotics work better against prosthetic joint infections, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found. The study, published ...
