Kicking a ball or climbing stairs with ease after a leg amputation above the knee is now within reach. Researchers at MIT have developed a bionic knee that redefines mobility for above-the-knee ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a method to restore astoundingly natural movement in people who have had leg amputations above the knee. Rather than fit ...

New technology called "Ottobock Empower" is changing the game for amputees. At Hartford HealthCare, the advanced equipment is ...

Those words were written for TV’s bionic "Six Million Dollar Man," but they could soon apply to everyday folks with above-the-knee amputations, a new study says. A new bionic knee allows amputees to ...

Last year, researchers at MIT announced that they'd created a bionic leg that integrates directly with an amputee's natural tissue, offering greater spatial awareness, faster walking speeds, and more ...

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 ...
