Recently, I wrote about a man in Nebraska named Adam Cutshall, who got a 3D-printed finger replacement 20 years after a tragic mishap. He made the mistake of using power tools while intoxicated and ...

Upper-limb amputees often struggle with everyday tasks due to their limited dexterity. The existing prosthetic hands often lack the fine motor skills and natural movement required for truly ...

The $9.9 million research project will allow a dozen amputees to test a neural-controlled prosthesis that sends touch ...

The Mia Hand prosthetic, fused with bone and connected to the nervous system, has given its owner a new lease on life and much less phantom pain. reading time 2 minutes Scientists appear to have ...

(WSVN) - Amputees depend on prosthetics to help with daily tasks, but even simple things can be difficult when the sense of touch is gone. As 7’s Kevin Ozebek tells us, South Florida researchers are ...

As Eric Jones fought off cancer a few years ago, his weakened immune system left him vulnerable to strep pneumonia and sepsis, which developed into the blood-clotting disorder known as Disseminated ...

Technology is more than just mechanisms and design -- it's ultimately about people. Adriene Simon/College of Liberal Arts, Auburn University, CC BY-SA To think about an artificial limb is to think ...

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 ...

A Danish man who lost his left hand in an accident almost a decade ago recently was able to "feel" an object using a state-of-the-art prosthetic hand, researchers are reporting. Dennis Aabo Sorensen ...

image: An MIT-developed inflatable robotic hand gives amputees real-time tactile control. The smart hand is soft and elastic, weighs about half a pound, and costs a fraction of comparable prosthetics.

Prosthetic limbs have come a really long way from being peg legs, hooks, and whatnot. The most advanced ones right now are often imbued with advanced robotics, which offer far more function and a ...

(THE CONVERSATION) To think about an artificial limb is to think about a person. It’s an object of touch and motion made to be used, one that attaches to the body and interacts with its user’s world.
