With a new surgical intervention and neuroprosthetic interface, researchers restored a natural walking gait in people with amputations below the knee. Seven patients were able to walk faster, avoid ...
A surgery developed at MIT, called agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), connects muscle remnants from the shin and the calf to allow near-natural movement for those using an advanced ...
NC State’s team is pushing prosthetic technology forward, combining mechanical assistance with artificial intelligence to ...
A new surgical technique for below-the-knee amputations retains a person’s ability to receive sensory feedback from remaining muscles. Having a prosthetic leg driven by an amputee’s own nervous system ...
A novel surgical technique could dramatically improve walking for people with below-the-knee amputations and help them better control their prosthetics. A study published Monday in Nature Medicine ...
The modern world around us — from the spaces we inhabit to the furniture we perch upon to the gadgets, tools and devices we hold in our hands — is implicitly designed for humans that fit within a ...
A young innovator from Bizana in the Eastern Cape is being recognised on a national stage for designing an affordable ...
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 ...
