Understanding the Biomechanical Needs of Bilateral Amputees

Losing both limbs, whether hands or legs, changes every part of a person’s life. Moving, holding things, walking, balancing — tasks that once felt natural now demand much more thought and effort. For bilateral amputees, daily life becomes a constant challenge of learning new ways to do the simplest things. At Robobionics, we have spent […]
Real-World Data: Measuring Gait Symmetry with Advanced Prosthetics

Walking is something most people never have to think about. Each step comes naturally, one after another, without a second thought. But for people who use prosthetic legs, every step can feel different. Making walking feel natural again is one of the biggest goals in modern prosthetics. One important part of this process is called […]
How Biomechanically Tuned Prosthetics Improve Energy Efficiency

Walking, running, or even standing still requires a surprising amount of energy. For someone using a prosthetic, it can take even more effort because the body has to work harder to move in a way that feels natural. Every small misalignment, every extra swing or drag, adds up, making daily life more tiring than it […]
Comparing Prosthetic Knee Mechanisms: Hydraulic, Pneumatic, and Microprocessor

Walking with a prosthetic leg is not just about moving forward. It’s about feeling steady, confident, and natural with every step. At the heart of many above-knee prosthetics is a complex and important part — the knee mechanism. The way this artificial knee works can make a big difference in how easy and comfortable walking […]
The Impact of Prosthetic Toe Springs on Running and Sports Performance

Running is more than just moving fast. It’s a rhythm of the body, a balance between speed, strength, and timing. For athletes using prosthetic legs, especially those designed for sports, getting that rhythm right can be a real challenge. Every tiny part of the prosthetic matters — and one part that makes a huge difference […]
