Improving Powered Prosthetics for the Next Generation of Amputees
From: Medical Design Technology - 11/21/2014

Powered lower limb prosthetics hold promise for improving the mobility of
amputees, but errors in the technology may also cause some users to stumble
or fall. New research examines exactly what happens when these technologies
fail, with the goal of developing a new generation of more robust powered
prostheses.
