The most advanced new surgical procedure, AMI, addresses proprioception. This refers to the ability to sense position and movement. In an intact human arm or leg, muscles work in pairs. When a bicep ...
"This is the first study to look at this phenomenon in people using lower-limb robotic prosthetics, and it raises a number of questions that should help us improve people's ability to walk with these ...
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 ...

A new report establishes the feasibility of using a state-of-the-art pattern recognition system to improve control of a robotic leg. With the new system, which uses electromyographic (EMG) signals ...
Researcher Helen Huang holds a robotic prosthetic leg. Huang and colleagues have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the ...
Phantom Neuro is developing a muscle-machine interface that allows individuals – particularly those with limb loss or motor impairments – to intuitively control advanced robotic systems like ...
Three high schoolers from Flower Mound, Texas, won a $50,000 scholarship at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair for designing and creating a mind-controlled robotic prosthetic leg ...
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Redirecting nerves from the thigh muscle to control an experimental robotic leg makes it easier to use and more like a natural leg, researchers report. The leg's movements ...
