Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...

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.

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 ...

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 Connecticut man who needed a new knee got one. But the prosthesis that was implanted was a right-sided knee placed into the left knee, according to a lawsuit filed at state Superior Court in ...

A San Luis Obispo surgeon knowingly replaced a knee with hardware that was too big and didn’t alert the patient even though she reported severe pain, a new lawsuit alleges. Dr. Michael Laird is an ...
