"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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Brenda Ogden lost her waterproof prosthetic leg 10 months ago, and with it, her zest for swimming. Then a local fossil hunter stumbled upon it. By Isabella Kwai The last time Brenda Ogden saw her leg ...
