A demonstration showing what the Modular Prosthetic Limb can do: controlled movements, small object manipulation, tool manipulation and clothes pin manipulation. This video is part of the "Beautiful ...

Bob Jones student Vitaliy Bondarchuk spent 100+ hours 3D printing a modular prosthetic arm for his 7-year-old sister.

Prosthetics are a fact of life today. It's estimated that more than 50 million people globally—some 2 million of them in the ...

Why? The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored research for this configurable bionic-arm prototype, which mimics the speed and dexterity of a natural limb.

The interface between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket must withstand complex multidirectional forces during ...

Few of us are aware of the complex interactions between neural, mechanical, and sensory systems required to do something as simple as picking up a ball. To create a prosthetic arm capable of natural ...

Johnny Matheny, a prosthetics tester, determines which cola can is the coldest using a modular prosthetic limb and thin-film thermoelectric device, both developed by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics ...

What if individuals with prosthetic limbs were able to feel sensations like heat and cold? This is what a recent study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering hopes to address as a team of ...
