Building a Better Prosthetic Leg for Amputees
From: Bioscience Technology - 06/30/2015

Scientists from Feinberg and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago have
developed a bionic leg that gives patients with above-knee amputations better
control over movement than current prosthetics.

The new knee-to-ankle prosthesis non-invasively decodes natural
electromyographic (EMG) signals generated from muscle contractions to make
walking easier.
