Recent advancements in orthopedic implants have made way for a new generation of bionic limbs that attach directly to the skeleton. Lever...
During the gait cycle, the human ankle complex serves as a primary power generator while simultaneously stabilizing the entire limb. Thes...
Because old-school surgical amputation hasn’t kept up with modern-day medicine.
Revealing insights into the human condition and repairing brain disorders via novel tools for mapping and fixing brain computations
Electrical stimulation (FES) is the current clinical stimulation modality used to restore function and provide therapy in a variety of cl...
New optogenetic technique could help restore limb movement, treat muscle tremor.
For amputees, robotic limbs that move like the real thing and are controlled by the mind are a game changer.
Humans can accurately sense the position, speed, and torque of their limbs, even with their eyes shut. This sense, known as proprioceptio...
"During the twilight years of this century, I believe humans will be unrecognizable in morphology and dynamics from what we are today."
New study describes first human implementation of novel approach to limb amputation.
