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 ...

Autofabricantes has designed and open-sourced dozens of prosthetic attachments, allowing children to pursue the full range of activities they love. An estimated 10 million people in the world wear ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Beaufort County Community College’s Mechanical Engineering Technology students designed and produced an adaptive tool to help ...

If the inner socket of a prosthetic leg doesn't conform to the contours of the user's leg stump, considerable pain and even skin ulcers may result. A new prosthesis should help keep that from ...

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