Our soft tissues swell and shrink throughout the day, so a wearable that fits in the morning may not do so in the afternoon. A new adaptive lining for the sockets of prosthetic limbs was designed with ...
The field of prosthetic socket design is evolving to address the complex interplay between the engineered interface and the biological residual limb. Socket design remains a critical determinant of ...
A new technology could reduce NHS waiting lists for prosthetic legs by half, a study has found. The software personalises prosthetic leg fittings based on data from previous patients. The data-driven ...
The most advanced new surgical procedure, AMI, addresses proprioception. This refers to the ability to sense position and movement. In an intact human arm or leg, muscles work in pairs. When a bicep ...
Around ten years ago, fantastic media coverage of 3D printing dramatically increased expectations for the technology. A particular darling of that coverage was the use of 3D-printing for prosthetic ...
