Advances in biomechanics and prosthetic engineering have significantly transformed our understanding of running in amputee athletes. The integration of running‐specific prostheses (RSPs) has enabled ...

A newly developed Robotic Prosthetic Leg by North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina improves amputees' movement to the point that it returns the subject to instinctively ...

Researchers at Guilin University of Electronic Technology in China have developed a new vision-integrated prosthetic system designed to automate grip strength. It could make prosthetic hand use more ...

Sensory feedback is important for amputees to be able to explore and interact with their environment. Now, researchers have developed a device that allows amputees to sense and respond to temperature ...

Demonstration of the robotic prosthetic ankle. Electromyographic sensors (on calf at left) capture electrical activity generated by muscles when they are flexed. This signal tells the prosthesis which ...
