CHICAGO - Researchers have come up with new technology that may one day help amputee war veterans: an artificial leg that reads brain signals, and it's already being tested out. The bionic leg that ...

Advances in bionic prosthetics are taking a major step forward. Thanks to recent research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), amputees could soon regain the sensation of walking ...

(CNN) — Amy Pietrafitta has learned to walk seven times. First was as a child and then after an industrial burn led to the amputation of her left leg in 2018. Since then, she’s had “first steps” in ...

Researchers have developed a new type of surgery that reconnects severed muscles in a patient's residual limb after a below-the-knee amputation, enabling amputees to walk more naturally than those who ...

For the first time, a small group of patients with amputations below the knee were able to control the movements of their prosthetic legs through neural signals—rather than relying on programmed ...

Scientists are testing the the first bionic leg fully controlled by the human nervous system to demonstrate natural walking speeds and gait patterns. (CNN) — Amy Pietrafitta has learned to walk seven ...

One year after the international Cybathlon 2024 competition, an Italian team has published a focus article in Science Robotics on the Omnia bionic leg, which took first place in the leg prosthesis ...

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The bionic suit that helps Pedro Lozano walk doesn’t turn him into the Six Million Dollar Man. But the Ekso robotic exoskeleton, which resembles a wearable robot, is aiding Lozano ...

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts ‒ Leg amputations haven't changed much in a very long time. Civil War-era textbooks describing them look pretty similar to contemporary ones, said Dr. Matthew Carty, a staff ...

A team of scientists are getting closer to the holy grail of brain-powered prosthetics by developing the first advanced-movement prosthetic leg that communicates with the wearer’s mind. Zac Vawter, 31 ...
