"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
