Thanks to a neural interface, people can move this bionic limb naturally—just by thinking about it. When someone loses part of a leg, a prosthetic can make it easier to get around. But most ...
"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 ...
Bionic leg restores natural walking speeds and steps: ‘I didn’t feel like my leg had been amputated’
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 prosthetic ...

Robotic knee prosthesis: Advanced control algorithm could expand commercial leg's benefits
A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
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 ...
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 ...
