Modern prostheses have come a long way from their hand hook and pegleg predecessors. Although they look a lot more like the real thing, they are still lacking in the natural feel department. To ...

Biomedical engineers have grown muscles in a lab to better understand and test treatments for a group of extremely rare muscle disorders called dysferlinopathy or limb girdle muscular dystrophies 2B ...

We visit the Ott Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, where scientists are regenerating organs and limbs. Jacques Guyette, research fellow at the Ott Lab. Sarah Gilpin, research fellow at the Ott ...

To date, muscle function, and in particular that of the lower extremity, in OI type IV has not been investigated systematically. This study now assesses upper and lower extremity muscle function ...

BACKGROUND: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and its severe form, chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), significantly impair blood flow to the lower extremities, affecting millions of adults ...
