MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital researchers developed a bionic leg controlled by residual limb, improving balance and stability for amputees.
Researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital have developed a bionic leg, controlled by the user's residual limb, that provides advanced sensors and machinery to mimic human leg movements. The study showed that users experienced improved balance, stability, and overall walking experience when using the bionic leg. This potentially groundbreaking technology could provide greater independence for amputees and enhance their everyday lives.
