🌟 A beautiful step forward for prosthetics!

New research shows how tiny changes in the way prosthetic legs are designed and controlled can make them feel and move much more like natural limbs. Users report better balance, smoother walking, and a stronger sense of connection to the ground.

A good prosthetic fit is crucial for comfort and mobility, but measuring the exact anatomical shape of a residual limb is still challenging. A group of THU students investigated 3D reconstruction of residual limbs using freehand ultrasound and a liner with integrated fiducial markers, all without external tracking. Interested? Read the BVM paper or visit poster P13 at this year’s BVM workshop.

Paralympians benefit from cutting-edge prosthetics. Many Canadians can't afford them
For decades, paralympians have been landing on the podium thanks to some of the latest advances in the world of prosthetics. And while those same prosthetics are often available to anyone living with a disability, high costs tend to keep them out of reach.
