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 ...

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 ...

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.

A Connecticut man who needed a new knee got one. But the prosthesis that was implanted was a right-sided knee placed into the left knee, according to a lawsuit filed at state Superior Court in ...

People with leg amputations were able to control their prosthetic limbs with their brains in a significant scientific advance that allows for a smoother gait and enhanced ability to navigate obstacles ...

Our experts will help you find the best and most appropriate prosthesis (artificial body part) for you — whether you are missing a limb or have multiple amputations. We collaborate with prosthetists ...

Researchers have developed a new, data-driven way of fitting prosthetic legs which could lead to better fitting prosthetics, in less time and at a lower cost. The technology has been developed by ...
