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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Strengthening hip muscles could be key to improve mobility in people with a below-the-knee amputation, new research has shown. Amputation presents significant mobility challenges to millions of people ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 type of surgery offers amputees better control of muscles that remain after surgery, and of their prosthetic limbs, its inventors say. The standard surgical approach to amputation has changed ...
