Mind-Controlled bionic leg: a giant leap for amputees
NCT ID NCT07615465
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of bionic leg for people who have lost a leg above the knee. The leg is attached directly to the bone and uses special electrodes to pick up nerve signals, allowing the person to control the knee and ankle naturally. Only 2 adults will take part to see if the leg improves walking and feels like a real part of the body.
