CHICAGO - Researchers have come up with new technology that may one day help amputee war veterans: an artificial leg that reads brain signals, and it's already being tested out. The bionic leg that ...

Cleveland Clinic has debuted a bionic arm that does not only act as a wearable device to complete one's body back, but it also features that can communicate with the brain for its function. This means ...

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic have taken a bionic prosthetic arm and rewired it to communicate with the brain of an amputee. The goal was to create a prosthetic that functions more like a natural ...

Researchers have developed a new type of surgery that reconnects severed muscles in a patient's residual limb after a below-the-knee amputation, enabling amputees to walk more naturally than those who ...

Most brain-computer interfaces run in only one direction, with a system either picking up on brain activity to tell it how to operate or sending out electrical impulses of its own to smooth out any ...

Scientists are testing the the first bionic leg fully controlled by the human nervous system to demonstrate natural walking speeds and gait patterns. (CNN) — Amy Pietrafitta has learned to walk seven ...
