A newly developed bionic knee could help people with above-the-knee amputations walk and climb with greater ease than they could with a traditional prosthesis. The new prosthesis, described July 10 in ...

A first-of-its-kind study demonstrated that a new nervous system-controlled bionic leg helps leg amputees walk more naturally than traditional prosthesis. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Modern bionic hand prostheses nearly match their natural counterparts when it comes to dexterity, degrees of freedom, and capability. And many amputees who tried advanced bionic hands apparently ...

Kicking a ball or climbing stairs with ease after a leg amputation above the knee is now within reach. Researchers at MIT have developed a bionic knee that redefines mobility for above-the-knee ...

Last year, researchers at MIT announced that they'd created a bionic leg that integrates directly with an amputee's natural tissue, offering greater spatial awareness, faster walking speeds, and more ...

A bionic knee that directly attaches to the thigh bone and uses implanted electrodes can make a prosthetic leg feel more like a part of the body, a new study finds. When you purchase through links on ...
