Prosthetic limbs are incredibly valuable to amputees because a prosthesis can help restore some of the capabilities lost with the amputated limb. Although prosthetic limbs have still not advanced to the point where they can rival the functionality provided by biological limbs, the capabilities they do...
After the wound site is fully healed, the patient might work with a prosthetist to be fit with a prosthetic limb. The prosthetic is individually tailored to the amputee's residual limb with particular care devoted to designing the socket that provides the interface between the patient and the p...
Below-the-knee amputees have a socket that extends to a pylon and a foot.Prosthetic feetcan be hydraulic, or have microprocessors, depending on the type of terrain that the person desires to walk on and the activities they want to participate in. There are also activity-based feet, such as...
While it's not entirely ready for combat, laboratory research suggests that liquid body armor has the potential to be a good replacement for or supplement to bulkier vests. Eventually, soldiers, police officers and others may be able to use it to protect their arms and legs. The two primary...
How does a bionic arm work?Who is the bionic arm for?Bionic arms such as the Hero Arm are worn by people with below-elbow limb differences, like Kate, Dan and Raimi. We develop bionic limbs that are bespoke to you for optimal comfort and functionality. Whether you have an acquired or ...
A game-changer in prosthetics has been introduced to the world, and for the first time, amputees are regaining sensation through an electrical signal from their prosthetic arm. Max Ortiz-Catalan, a professor of bionics, explains the process of implanting
Digital solutions in healthcare can facilitate and improve care. However, the experiences and the usefulness of using either digital foot examinations or traditional foot examinations need to be evaluated. The aims of the study were to evaluate: 1) The d
Close your eyes and think "robot." What picture leaps to mind? Most likely a fictional creature like R2-D2 or C-3PO from Star Wars. Very likely ahumanoid—a humanlike robot with arms, legs, and a head, probably painted metallic silver. Unless you happen to work in robotics, I doubt...
