Stimulating the spinal cord can elicit sensation in the missing foot and alleviate phantom limb pain in people with lower limb amputations.

"Tobacco use history was associated with the highest rate for severe complications, including above-knee amputation," says James Keeney.

The chance of having a diabetes-related foot and/or toe amputation may depend on your race and where you live, a new study shows.

With training, neural control of a powered robotic ankle can restore a wide range of abilities, including squatting and standing on challenging surfaces.

A new prosthetic allows amputees real-time, intuitive, finger-level control of a robotic hand. "It's like you have a hand again," one user says.

A new e-glove can help people with prosthetic hands feel pressure and temperature, while also giving prostheses the softness and warmth of real skin.
