PORT RICHMOND, Staten Island (WABC) -- A grassroots charity is working to raise money to help a 17-year-old amputee. The boy, orphaned in South Africa, was born with deformed legs that were amputated.
A team of scientists are getting closer to the holy grail of brain-powered prosthetics by developing the first advanced-movement prosthetic leg that communicates with the wearer’s mind. Zac Vawter, 31 ...
Bionic leg restores natural walking speeds and steps: ‘I didn’t feel like my leg had been amputated’
(CNN) — Amy Pietrafitta has learned to walk seven times. First was as a child and then after an industrial burn led to the amputation of her left leg in 2018. Since then, she’s had “first steps” in ...
