Last we heard from Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory, it wanted a neurally-controlled bionic arm by 2009. Needless to say, the school overshot that goal by a tiny bit, and have now ...

The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new type of bionic arm for amputees that promises an unprecedented level of control and mobility. The DEKA Arm, developed with funding from the Defense ...

Cleveland Clinic researchers have engineered a first-of-its-kind bionic arm for patients with upper-limb amputations that allows wearers to think, behave and function like a person without an ...

Powered prosthetics are becoming so well designed, they're surpassing their sci-fi film predecessors. Look to Open Bionics, a group that's working on a project called Hero Arm. They've created a ...

Myomo, Inc. (NYSE American: MYO) ("Myomo" or the "Company"), a wearable medical robotics company that offers increased functionality for those suffering from neurological disorders and upper-limb ...

People who have lost an arm have not traditionally had much hope of ever regaining meaningful function. Prosthetic arms have been controlled in a rudimentary way, by transforming residual shoulder ...

About 75% of amputees exhibit mobility of their phantom limb. Using this information, in collaboration with physicians*, researchers from CNRS and Aix-Marseille University have developed a prototype ...

Concept: Researchers from Cleveland Clinic have developed a bionic arm for patients with upper-limb amputation. It allows the wearer to think, behave, and function like a person without amputation.

A girl of nine who lost her arm to meningitis is quickly getting to grips with a new hi-tech prosthetic limb. Rinae Hedgecock can already high-five her twin brother Rico and pick up a Coca-Cola bottle ...

Next: a report on the possibilities and limits of robotic arms and prosthetic technology. It's also a story with a real and personal connection for us through the experiences of our science ...

About 75 percent of amputees exhibit mobility of their phantom limb. Using this information, researchers have developed a prototype capable of detecting these movements and activating a prosthetic arm ...
