A Korean company recently garnered attention by showcasing robotic prostheses and artificial limbs to 50 recipients. These robotic assistive devices play a crucial role in supporting the daily ...

An implant is placed into each of the two bones of the forearm—the ulna and radius—and then a wrist-like artificial joint acts as an interface between these two implants and the prosthetic hand. There ...

Most of us do not think twice about picking up a cup of coffee, sending a quick text or carrying groceries in from the car. For people who use prosthetic hands, though, these everyday tasks can be a ...

Researchers have developed a prosthetic joint that connects directly to the forearm bones of an amputee, allowing them to use a prosthesis with a wrist-like rotary movement. Use of the new joint could ...

A new artificial joint restores important wrist-like movements to forearm amputees, something which could dramatically improve their quality of life. A new artificial joint restores important ...
