Our soft tissues swell and shrink throughout the day, so a wearable that fits in the morning may not do so in the afternoon. A new adaptive lining for the sockets of prosthetic limbs was designed with ...

The field of prosthetic socket design is evolving to address the complex interplay between the engineered interface and the biological residual limb. Socket design remains a critical determinant of ...

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 ...

The field of prosthetic limb suspension is continually evolving with a focus on optimising the interface between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket, thereby enhancing comfort, functionality ...

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 ...

"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 ...
