Bionic knee helps amputees walk faster and climb stars

A new bionic knee that can help amputees walk faster, climb stairs, and avoid obstacles more easily than with a traditional prosthesis has been developed by engineers.
It is aimed at people who have lost a leg above the knee.
Unlike prostheses in which the residual limb sits within a socket, the new system is directly integrated with the user’s muscle and bone tissue.
This enables greater stability and gives the user much more control over the movement of the prosthesis.
Participants in a small clinical study said the limb felt more like a part of their own body.
During a traditional amputation, pairs of muscles that take turns stretching and contracting are usually severed, disrupting the normal agonist-antagonist relationship of the muscles.
This disruption makes it very difficult for the nervous system to sense the position of a muscle and how fast it’s contracting.
OPS: The new bionic knee can help people with above-the-knee amputations walk faster, climb stairs, and avoid obstacles more easily than they could with a traditional prosthesis. The new system is directly integrated with the user’s muscle and bone tissue (bottom row right). This enables greater stability and gives the user much more control over the movement of the prosthesis.

Father creates bionic prosthetic arm for baby son, Anglesey, Wales, UK - 01 Mar 2017
*Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/t5tn
A father has created a bionic prosthetic arm for his baby son using a games console and a 3D printer. When their now 2-year-old son Sol was born parents Ben Ryan and Kate Smith were overjoyed. However, 10 days later their joy turned to despair when the tot needed emergency surgery - being rushed from his home in Anglesey to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool. Here surgeons made the devastating decision to amputate Sol's left arm just below the elbow because of a blood clot. Due to his work as an education psychology lecturer Ben believed that early intervention was needed for Sol to adapt to his disability. However, doctors told him that Sol would not get a prosthetic arm until he was at least one and he would have a functioning, moving prosthetic until he was four.

European launch of 'Ekso' bionic exoskeleton, London, Britain - 21 Oct 2011

Bionic Exoskeleton Helps Paraplegic Walk Again
A woman who has been in a wheelchair since 1992 has been able to walk again thanks to an unusual bionic exoskeleton.
Amanda Boxtel, who has been paralysed for almost 20 years following a skiing accident, was able to stand and walk with the aid of the Ekso exoskeleton.
She demonstrated the device during its European launch at the London International Technology Show.
The Ekso helps a user to walk by picking up small upper body movements and translating them into strides.
According to Eythor Bender, chief executive officer of Ekso Bionics, the project was originally funded by the American military interested in giving soldiers an advantage on the battlefield.
However, five years ago the company realised that the technology could help people with spinal injuries and they began targeting it to paraplegics.
The Ekso is expected to be available in Britain next year and costs GBP 100,000.
