Abstract
En 中文
An artificial limb can replace the missing part of a leg to increase mobility and enhance independence of an amputee. Although a prosthesis can be customized to an individual’s activity needs and the level of amputation, surgical procedures used for prostheses have remained largely unchanged since the turn of the 19th century (1). The primary focus of prosthetic technologies has been to restore the ability to walk, but prothesis users often experience an increased rate of falls and difficulty walking on uneven surfaces or climbing stairs. In addition, amputees do not receive feedback signals from the prosthetic limb. Thus, a better neuroprosthetic interface with bidirectional communication between the amputee and the prosthesis is desired. On page 144 of this issue, Shu et al. (2) report combining multiple cutting-edge neurotechnology approaches to create a bionic prosthesis that can perform complex activities. This addresses key issues associated with lower-limb amputation.
