In a paper published today in Science Translational Medicine, the researchers describe the first human implementation of the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), in a person with below-knee ...

Join medical resident Siobhan Deshauer, MD, as she shadows a prosthetic resident. Learn how prosthetics are made and meet Wayne, who had a below-knee amputation following a workplace accident.

With a new surgical intervention and neuroprosthetic interface, researchers restored a natural walking gait in people with amputations below the knee. Seven patients were able to walk faster, avoid ...

A novel surgical technique could dramatically improve walking for people with below-the-knee amputations and help them better control their prosthetics. A study published Monday in Nature Medicine ...

FOR more than ten years there has been a tendency to use below-the-knee rather than supracondylar amputation at the New England Deaconess Hospital in the management of diabetic gangrene when more ...

An eighth-grade project turned passion led University of Colorado junior Peter “Max” Armstrong to invent a mechanism he hopes will make prosthetics cheaper and more accessible to amputees around the ...

A new technique known as targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), where severed nerves in the amputated limb are rerouted to other muscle targets, is showing impressive reductions in debilitating phantom ...

State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don’t give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic sensors ...
