Jade Myers’ experience in Haiti several years ago helping refugees after a devastating earthquake left an impression that is inspiring her work today as a researcher in prosthetics and accessibility.

The field of prosthetic socket design is evolving to address the complex interplay between the engineered interface and the biological residual limb. Socket design remains a critical determinant of ...

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 ...

Our soft tissues swell and shrink throughout the day, so a wearable that fits in the morning may not do so in the afternoon. A new adaptive lining for the sockets of prosthetic limbs was designed with ...

Prosthetics and orthotics represent a dynamic field that bridges engineering innovation and clinical rehabilitation. In prosthetics, technological advancements—from digital 3D modelling and additive ...

A new technology could reduce NHS waiting lists for prosthetic legs by half, a study has found. The software personalises prosthetic leg fittings based on data from previous patients. The data-driven ...

Community college engineering students are making big waves after developing a new tool for prosthetic users with limited ...

Charles R. Goulding and Andressa Bonafe examine how Ottobock’s digital scan-to-print ecosystem is redefining prosthetic care ...

An ill-fitting lower-limb prosthesis can significantly impact an amputee's mobility, independence, and overall quality of life, and a new research ...

A round ten years ago, fantastic media coverage of 3D printing dramatically increased expectations for the technology. A particular darling of that coverage was the use of 3D-prin ...
