A newly developed Robotic Prosthetic Leg by North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina improves amputees' movement to the point that it returns the subject to instinctively ...

Demonstration of the robotic prosthetic ankle. Electromyographic sensors (on calf at left) capture electrical activity generated by muscles when they are flexed. This signal tells the prosthesis which ...

A surgery developed at MIT, called agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), connects muscle remnants from the shin and the calf to allow near-natural movement for those using an advanced ...

Editor’s note: Innovation Thursday – a deep dive into a newly emerging technology or companies – is a regular feature at WRAL TechWire. RALEIGH – Robotic prosthetic ankles that are controlled by nerve ...

The future of medical technology is being developed right here in our own backyard. A Notre Dame PHD candidate is nearing the final stages of prosthetic research. Ryan Posh is pioneering this research ...

Liz Metzger wanted the chance to create a medical device that could help change lives. The MSR program’s final project gave her the opportunity to do just that. Liz Metzger (MSR ‘23) earned her ...

Robotic prosthetic ankles that are controlled by nerve impulses allow amputees to move more "naturally," improving their stability, according to a new study from North Carolina State University and ...

"I had my leg amputated August 19, 1992," said Mike Addy, who was injured while working a road construction job. "I had a 10 ton steel roller fall on my left leg and my right foot." He tried many ...

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts ‒ Leg amputations haven't changed much in a very long time. Civil War-era textbooks describing them look pretty similar to contemporary ones, said Dr. Matthew Carty, a staff ...

Robotic prosthetic ankles that are controlled by nerve impulses allow amputees to move more 'naturally,' improving their stability, according to a new study. Robotic prosthetic ankles that are ...
