First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new type of prosthetic leg for people who have lost a leg below or above the knee. The smart leg uses sensors to detect muscle signals and provides gentle vibrations to help the user feel the leg's position. It also has powered knee and ankle joints that actively assist with walking, making daily activities easier. Eight experienced prosthetic users completed the trial to check if the device was safe and worked well.
