We herein describe a case of erectile dysfunction in a young previously potent amputee, associated with site-specific compression injury from a perineal weight-bearing lower extremity above-knee ...

When a person loses a leg above the knee, the nerves that once moved that leg don’t simply go quiet. They keep firing.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an option for patients who have trouble with the standard socket leg prosthetics that are typically used for those with above-the-knee amputation.

Above-knee sockets came in two basic varieties: the square, quadrilateral socket; or the rounded plug socket with no contouring. These sockets tended to fit loosely, allowed the residual limb to move ...

A control system that incorporated electrical signals generated during muscle contractions and gait information resulted in improved real-time control of a powered prosthetic leg for different modes ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a method to restore astoundingly natural movement in people who have had leg amputations above the knee. Rather than fit ...

A battery-powered hip exoskeleton has helped above-the-knee amputees walk with less effort. The device gives the user just enough extra power for walking, much like an electric bike with a motor that ...

Engineers at Vanderbilt University have come up with a "bionic" above knee prosthesis which is a blessing for amputees in enabling fast movement. The prosthesis comes with a powered knee, ankle and a ...
