Ross Holland discovered a unique way to wear his prosthetic legs by turning the feet backward. "It's so much more comfortable. It's so much easier," said Holland, a 34-year-old. "This kind of fluke ...

Researchers have developed a new, data-driven way of fitting prosthetic legs that could lead to better-fitting prosthetics, in less time and at a lower cost. The technology was developed by Radii ...

A new brain-controlled bionic limb has the ability to help people with leg amputations more easily navigate obstacles and walk more quickly, a new study published in the journal Nature Medicine shows.

Chafing, blisters and sores are common problems for people fitted with an artificial limb. The artificial limb's fixed, rigid shape can't adapt to changes in a person's body, ultimately causing it to ...

BYU 2ft Prosthetic Club volunteers smile at the camera among bags of 450 pounds of prosthetic materials at the Salt Lake City International Airport. This group of volunteers traveled and served ...

Why it matters: Traditional artificial limbs are getting better, but they just don't quite achieve that smooth, natural stride most people take for granted. They rely on robotic sensors and programs ...

"Smart" prosthetic legs can help amputees achieve a natural walking gait, but it's done through robotic sensors and algorithms that drive the limb forward at predetermined rates. A better way would be ...
