Fast Summary
- A new bionic knee prosthesis enables people with above-the-knee amputations to walk and climb stairs more easily compared to traditional prostheses.
- Published in the journal Science on July 10,the technology integrates a titanium rod with the femur and uses implanted electrodes in leg muscles for improved control and movement.
- The probe includes reconnecting opposing muscle pairs, such as hamstring and quadriceps, during surgery. This improves dialog within muscle groups that are traditionally left disconnected in conventional amputations.
- two participants who underwent both muscle reconnection surgery and received the bone-integrated implant showed significantly better performance in walking tasks than those using traditional prostheses or partial versions of this system.
- Improved stability, reduced discomfort (from lack of sockets), enhanced mechanical connection, increased sense of ownership over limb called embodiment seem adoption underway.
