RIT faculty researchers collaborate to improve finger and hand prosthetics with a combination of new materials, sensors and bioprinting breakthroughs.
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 ...
It is the first magnetically controlled prosthetic hand that allows amputees to reproduce all movements simply by thinking and to control the force applied when grasping fragile objects. No wires, no ...
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 ...
"Smart" prosthetic legs can help amputees achieve a natural walking gait, but it's done through robotic sensors and algorithms that drive the limb forward at predetermined rates. A better way would be ...
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 ...
David Brockman, a retired CalFire captain and avid outdoorsman, built a deck in the backyard of his home last year, without the use of his dominant right hand, which he lost in an accident. The ...
When Michael Adams was researching health insurance options in 2023, he had one very specific requirement: coverage for prosthetic limbs. Adams, 51, lost his right leg to cancer 40 years ago, and he ...
