Advances in bionic prosthetics are taking a major step forward. Thanks to recent research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), amputees could soon regain the sensation of walking naturally thanks to a bionic leg controlled by their own brain.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have showcased a new type of bionic leg that can be plugged directly into the patient's brain. The prosthetic is surgically connected to the patient's nervous system, allowing the patient's ...

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 had traditional amputations. | Credit: Courtesy of Hugh ...
