Powered lower limb prosthetics hold promise for improving the mobility of amputees, but errors in the technology may also cause some users to stumble or fall. New research examines exactly what happens when these technologies fail, with the goal of developing a new generation of more robust powered prostheses.

Shakira is right: Hips don’t lie. At least when they’re used for walking. In a study comparing the power generated by hips, knees and ankles when humans walk and run on level ground, hips provided more of the power when humans walk at speeds up to 2 meters per second – a rate equated with…

When a team of undergrads announced the results of their senior research project, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Literally. The five NC State biomedical engineering (BME) students had developed a special lens for patients suffering from forms of paralysis that leave them unable to blink and hydrate their eyes.
