Artificial limbs look and function more like real limbs than ever before—but that's only helpful if they are used as intended ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in prosthetic sensory feedback. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Sensory feedback is important for amputees to be able to explore and interact with their environment. Now, researchers have developed a device that allows amputees to sense and respond to temperature ...

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 ...

Robotic prosthetic ankles that are controlled by nerve impulses allow amputees to move more "naturally," improving their stability, according to a new study from North Carolina State University and ...

The latest advance in wearable robotic technology promises to solve a 200-year-old problem by revolutionising the fit of prosthetic limbs, transforming the lives of millions of amputees worldwide. The ...
