A research team at Peking University, Beijing, China, has developed what they claim is the world’s first soft prosthetic knee. Compared to the rigid, high-density metallic mechanics of prosthetic knees, soft materials enable lighter, more flexible designs with better compliance and impact absorption. However, challenges such as inefficient deformation under... The post Bioinspired Origami–Based Prosthetic Knee first appeared on Lower Extremity Review Magazine.
