Above-elbow and hand prosthetics represent remarkable achievements in rehabilitative technology, offering individuals comprehensive solutions to challenges of limb loss.

For my doctoral dissertation, I developed a novel myoelectric control algorithm that allows for continuous control of the hand posture including all necessary postures used in activities of daily ...

Traditional myoelectric prosthetics require complex motorized systems that are heavy and fragile. The Hennes robotic hand is an attempt at simplifying these systems to introduce cheaper artificial ...

Robotics has long fascinated the mind of the public. Androids, bionic men and exoskeletons populate both the large and small screens. But until recently, the technology seen in pop culture has not ...

In 2018, Johnny Matheny became the first person to take home the world's most advanced Modular Prosthetic Limb—developed by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory—for a yearlong opportunity to ...

Prosthetics are largely built to look and function like the limb they’re replacing. But it need not be so. Running prosthetics for lower-leg amputees are more like curved metal springs than the legs ...

At Chris Kort’s midtown Manhattan office, Eric has stopped by to try on his new foot. Kort, prosthetist and president of Prosthetics in Motion, has created a new, lighter device for him to try. It ...

Prostheses are morphing into mind-controlled extensions of the human body that let their wearers feel what they're touching. Abrar's interests include phones, streaming, autonomous vehicles, internet ...

A groundbreaking surgical procedure combined with exciting new technological strides is offering new hope and help for amputees. Private Jackson Schroeder, an Army veteran, was one of the early few to ...
