Advances in bionic prosthetics are taking a major step forward. Thanks to recent research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), amputees could soon regain the sensation of walking ...
The procedure allowed people to walk faster, climb stairs better and avoid obstacles more easily. Hugh Herr and Hyungeun Song In a clinical trial, researchers enabled people with prosthetic legs to ...
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have showcased a new type of bionic leg that can be plugged directly into the patient's brain. The prosthetic is surgically connected to ...
Scientists are testing the the first bionic leg fully controlled by the human nervous system to demonstrate natural walking speeds and gait patterns. (CNN) — Amy Pietrafitta has learned to walk seven ...
Bionic leg restores natural walking speeds and steps: ‘I didn’t feel like my leg had been amputated’
(CNN) — 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 ...
Ever since Hugh Herr lost both his legs to a rock-climbing accident, he’s been on a quest to design replacement limbs that feel like the real thing. It’s now possible to engineer light-weight custom ...
A mind-controlled prosthetic feels more like a part of the wearer’s body and promises to make walking easier. When someone loses part of a leg, a prosthetic can make it easier to get around. But most ...
A robotic leg that can be fully controlled by the brain and spinal cord has enabled seven people who had lost a lower leg to walk roughly as fast as people without amputations. The bionic limb uses a ...
