2. Biomechatronics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechatronics

   For example, four different steps must occur to lift the foot to walk. First, impulses from the brain 's motor center are sent to the foot and leg muscles . Next, the nerve cells in the feet send information, providing feedback to the brain, enabling it to adjust the muscle groups or amount of force required to walk across the ground.

3. Prosthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosthesis

   The prosthetic knee is connected to the prosthetic foot by the shank, which is usually made of an aluminum or graphite tube. One of the most important aspect of a prosthetic knee joint would be its stance-phase control mechanism. The function of stance-phase control is to prevent the leg from buckling when the limb is loaded during weight ...

4. Prosthetic innovation: 'It's like you have a hand again' - study

   www.aol.com/news/prosthetic-innovation-hand...

   Today's artificial limbs can look very natural, and now an innovative process makes prosthetic hands move more naturally as well. In an innovative experiment, scientists have shown that the nerves ...

5. Robotic prosthesis control - Wikipedia

   Hugh Herr demonstrating new robotic prosthetic legs at TED 2014: "That was the first demonstration of a running gait under neural command. The more I fire my muscles, the more torque I get." The terms k (spring stiffness), θ 0 (equilibrium angle), and b (dampening coefficient) are all parameters found through regression and tuned for different ...

   The only upgrades available for our puny human hands are gaming controller calluses, but if you're sporting an i-LIMB digits hand prosthesis, you can now grab a set of improved fingers. Touch ...

7. Mind-controlled prosthetic is 'like having a hand again'

   This artificial hand is being controlled by nerves in Karen Sussex's arms. She is one of many amputees taking part in an experiment - which aims to let amputees move prosthetic fingers and thumbs ...

8. Flex-Foot Cheetah - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flex-Foot_Cheetah

   2 "bladerunners" using this sort of prosthetic foot. CGI image. The Flex-Foot Cheetah is a prosthetic human foot replacement developed by biomedical engineer Van Phillips, who had lost a leg below the knee at age 21; the deficiencies of existing prostheses led him to invent this new prosthesis.

9. Artificial organ - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_organ

   A prosthetic arm. Artificial arms and legs, or prosthetics, are intended to restore a degree of normal function to amputees. Mechanical devices that allow amputees to walk again or continue to use two hands have probably been in use since ancient times, [10] the most notable one being the simple peg leg. Since then, the development of ...
