The most advanced new surgical procedure, AMI, addresses proprioception. This refers to the ability to sense position and movement. In an intact human arm or leg, muscles work in pairs. When a bicep ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the movement of the prosthetic limb and - for the first time - also ...

Blue Arbor Technologies reported the first-in-human implant of its RESTORE External Sensing Unit and began Series A financing.

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...

Researcher Helen Huang holds a robotic prosthetic leg. Huang and colleagues have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the ...

Blue Arbor Technologies today announced a partnership with Ottobock, anchored by a $5 million investment to advance neuromuscular tech.

Over the course of four days, study participants were tasked with walking using a robotic prosthetic attached to a knee bent at a right angle. Specifically, they were asked to walk on a treadmill as ...

Upper-limb amputees often struggle with everyday tasks due to their limited dexterity. The existing prosthetic hands often lack the fine motor skills and natural movement required for truly ...

Advanced electronic sensors and circuitry combined with computer modeling and simulation are two of the leading technologies driving developments in robotic control technology for bringing specialized ...

"This is the first study to look at this phenomenon in people using lower-limb robotic prosthetics, and it raises a number of questions that should help us improve people's ability to walk with these ...
