We herein describe a case of erectile dysfunction in a young previously potent amputee, associated with site-specific compression injury from a perineal weight-bearing lower extremity above-knee ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a method to restore astoundingly natural movement in people who have had leg amputations above the knee. Rather than fit ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an option for patients who have trouble with the standard socket leg prosthetics that are typically used for those with above-the-knee amputation.

A control system that incorporated electrical signals generated during muscle contractions and gait information resulted in improved real-time control of a powered prosthetic leg for different modes ...

A battery-powered hip exoskeleton has helped above-the-knee amputees walk with less effort. The device gives the user just enough extra power for walking, much like an electric bike with a motor that ...
