Bionic leg restores natural walking speeds and steps: ‘I didn’t feel like my leg had been amputated’
Amy Pietrafitta has learned to walk seven times. First was as a child and then after an industrial burn led to the amputation of her left leg in 2018. Since then, she’s had “first steps” in prosthetic ...
When Michael Adams was researching health insurance options in 2023, he had one very specific requirement: coverage for prosthetic limbs. Adams, 51, lost his right leg to cancer 40 years ago, and he ...
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 ...
At the heart of this breakthrough is a surgical procedure known as the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface, or AMI. Unlike traditional amputation methods, the AMI reconnects muscles in the residual ...
A new robotic prosthetic leg prototype offers a more natural gait while also being quieter and more energy efficient than other designs. The key is the use of new small and powerful motors, originally ...
A 14-year-old volleyball player from Scottsdale is advocating for House Bill 2333 to expand coverage for activity-specific ...
