An AI-managed, self-adjusting socket liner, an explosion in prosthesis design tools, and advancements in 3D printing that may reduce amputations.

An indestructible bionic hand, wearable biosensors with a built-in AI control system, and non-invasive sensory feedback for bionic feet. What’s not to love?

Our definition of bionic touch goes beyond sensory feedback, i.e. where sensors must make contact with the external world to generate information.

A new surgical technique is improving the ability of end-users to sense the position and movement of bionic limbs, as well as reducing phantom pain.

We are entering a period of bionic arm & hand development that is both exciting and potentially confusing. This article is meant to clarify the most recent options for pattern recognition systems.

Osseointegration for limbs involves inserting a metal rod into an arm or leg bone. The bone then fuses with the rod in a manner similar to fracture healing. The resulting implant offers numerous benefits but also introduces significant health risks.

Control Systems for commercial bionic legs & feet differ from their upper-limb counterparts. Certainly, they have been more effective. But the desire for increased user control and true sensory feedback persists.

When looking at a bionic arm, many people believe that the hand and the arm joints are the primary technology components. This is not true. It is the user control system that holds the key to restoring near-natural capabilities.

A study to capture the experiences and perception of prosthetic leg users — part of a broader project to develop prosthetic sockets that can detect and communicate important sensations to end-users.
