MIT develops bionic knee to help amputees restore natural movement

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology via SWNS) By Stephen Beech The Six Million Dollar Man is a step nearer reality after scientists successfully integrated a bionic knee into tissue to restore natural movement. American researchers developed a new bionic knee that can help people with above-the-knee amputations walk faster, climb stairs, and avoid obstacles more easily than they could with a traditional prosthesis. Unlike prostheses in which …
