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 ...

One year after the international Cybathlon 2024 competition, an Italian team has published a focus article in Science ...

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 ...

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 ...

A recent case study from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill demonstrates that, with training, neural control of a powered prosthetic ankle can restore ...

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 ...

A recent case study demonstrates that, with training, neural control of a powered prosthetic ankle can restore a wide range of abilities, including standing on very challenging surfaces and squatting.

The global prosthetics and orthotics market was valued at approximately USD 4 billion in 2022 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 5% through 2027. This steady ...
