Researchers at MIT have developed a new prosthetic leg that can be controlled via brain signals, an achievement that could greatly enhance the experience of walking with a bionic limb for amputees. As ...

When an amputee patient thinks about walking, the prosthetic limb moves naturally A high-tech prosthetic leg enables amputees to walk naturally and at normal speeds without consciously thinking about ...

BEFORE HUGH Herr became a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he was a promising rock climber. But after being trapped in a blizzard during a climb at age 17, he lost both ...

A bionic leg has made it possible for people with below-the-leg amputations to walk more naturally, at a normal speed and walk up and down steps. The state-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people ...

Bionic leg allows amputees to walk naturally and at normal speed in world first Device allows brain to control prosthesis movements, not a robotic algorithm, creating a gait identical to that of ...
