UNIVERSITY OF UTAH ENGINEERS DEVELOP COMPUTERIZED BIONIC LEG TO HELP AMPUTEES WALK FASTER, EASIER AND WITH BETTER BALANCE For a brief time, Kerry Finn felt like “The Terminator” or “The Six... Read more
Thanks to the electrodes system a stable signal is obtained, which allows precise control like handling an egg without breaking. It also provides sensations as if it were a real hand. The fi... Read more
For patients who’ve lost limbs, it’s a challenge is to put both their lives and their bodies back together. Now, a breakthrough technology being tested at the University of Calif... Read more
Lower-leg Amputees Will Test Carnegie Mellon’s Balance Recovery Technology Trips and stumbles too often lead to falls for amputees using leg prosthetics, but a robotic leg prosthesis being d... Read more
Stanford engineers have created a plastic skin-like material that can detect pressure and deliver a Morse code-like signal directly to a living brain cell. The work takes a big step toward a... Read more
A University of Texas at Dallas professor applied robot control theory to enable powered prosthetics to dynamically respond to the wearer’s environment and help amputees walk. In research av... Read more
The secret lies in the ankle. Walking is tricky business, as any toddler knows. And while most artificial feet and limbs do a pretty good job restoring mobility to people who have lost a leg... Read more
University of Leicester study shows insects can move without muscles using ‘clever biomechanical tricks’ Neurobiologists from the University of Leicester have shown that insect limbs can mov... Read more
The result allows natural control of an advanced robotic prosthesis, similarly to the motions of a natural limb. For the first time an operation has been conducted, at Sahlgrenska Uni... Read more
