Pregnancy induces a range of biomechanical and hormonal adaptations that influence both gait and postural stability. As the centre of mass shifts anteriorly and upwards during gestation, pregnant ...

Robotic prosthetic ankles that are controlled by nerve impulses allow amputees to move more 'naturally,' improving their stability, according to a new study. Robotic prosthetic ankles that are ...

Demonstration of the robotic prosthetic ankle. Electromyographic sensors (on calf at left) capture electrical activity generated by muscles when they are flexed. This signal tells the prosthesis which ...
