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 ...

After losing a lower leg, Savo Panic received a prosthetic limb that helped restore movement. But prostheses are imperfect, and he suffered tremendous "phantom" leg pain. Now, European scientists say ...

video: An amputee who received the neural interface (AMI) demonstrates his control over a leg prosthetic. The prosthetic's movement was smoother and more stable compared to a second amputee's ...

A mind-controlled prosthetic feels more like a part of the wearer’s body and promises to make walking easier. When someone loses part of a leg, a prosthetic can make it easier to get around. But most ...

Scottish Rite for Children’s Certified Licensed Prosthetist Dwight Putnam has dedicated his career to making the world more accessible to children and adolescents who are missing limbs. He is shown in ...

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