Users of a bionic hand were able to “feel” sensation in such detail that they could blindly identify a letter of the alphabet by tracing it with a fingertip, and users of a bionic arm could control a ...

For two 9-year-olds from Marion County, the science project they presented Monday at the West Virginia State Science and Engineering Fair in Charleston was more than just a STEM exercise. It was a way ...

Students benefit from specialized lab spaces at Drexel’s Elkins Park campus, equipped with the latest tools and technologies for orthotic and prosthetic fabrication, fitting and assessment. These ...
