   How do bionic legs help amputees walk?

   • The bionic legs helped amputees walk at normal speed up a ramp Normally, during amputation, muscles are wrapped up to create soft padding for maximum comfort when using an artificial leg. But this means control of nerves and natural leg movements are lost.

   Can a robot walk faster than a standard limb?

   • Computer interface links signals from the brain to an artificial limb, giving the wearer better balance, flexibility and speed. Trial participants with the robotic system could walk faster than those with standard robotic legs. Credit: H. Song et al./Nature Medicine

   Could a bionic leg be the future of prosthetic limbs?

   • Developed by scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the bionic leg links the user's brain activity to nerves in important muscles controlling movement. Study author Prof Hugh Herr said the results of a small trial were "quite miraculous" and could influence the way prosthetic limbs are constructed in future.
