In A Nutshell For the first time in humans, scientists decoded intended movements across all three joints of a missing leg, including knee, ankle, and toes, directly from nerve signals. Tiny electrode ...

With a new surgical intervention and neuroprosthetic interface, researchers restored a natural walking gait in people with amputations below the knee. Seven patients were able to walk faster, avoid ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have identified a critical gap in how post-amputation pain is evaluated and treated. The study shows that pain after lower limb amputation is not a ...

People with leg amputations were able to control their prosthetic limbs with their brains in a significant scientific advance that allows for a smoother gait and enhanced ability to navigate obstacles ...

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 ...

LAS VEGAS, NV—The diversion of blood flow through arterialization of the deep veins in the foot holds up well at 2 years as a therapy for “no-option” patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia ...

A new surgical technique for below-the-knee amputations retains a person’s ability to receive sensory feedback from remaining muscles. Having a prosthetic leg driven by an amputee’s own nervous system ...
