Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a method to restore astoundingly natural movement in people who have had leg amputations above the knee. Rather than fit ...

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 ...

In a small clinical study, people with above-the-knee amputations said it helped them navigate more easily and felt more like part of their body. MIT researchers have developed a new bionic knee that ...

Our team addresses a critical need for adjustable cooling in prosthetics to prevent heat buildup. We're developing above-knee/below-knee prosthetics with thermo-electric devices to absorb heat from ...

Proteor SAS is launching the Synsys bionic leg, a sensor-equipped microprocessor-controlled knee-ankle-foot prosthetic leg for above-the-knee amputees. This new generation prosthesis coordinates knee ...

Amputees have been outfitted with a prosthesis that is integrated with muscle and bone. The new creation allows patients to walk faster and avoid obstacles better than they could with past prostheses.

SHANGHAI — For years, prosthetic knees have significantly enhanced mobility for individuals with limb disabilities, offering them the freedom to walk, run, and climb stairs. Now, they’re taking a ...
