Amputee

Recent advances in bionic limb technology have transformed prosthetics for amputees, enabling control through brain signals. A clinical trial demonstrated the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), which reconstructs muscle pairs to enhance control and perception. This approach allows for more natural movement and feedback, significantly imp...

In a pioneering development, scientists have created a bionic leg that allows below-the-knee amputees to walk naturally, climb stairs, and even dance by using their neural system for control.

Tinkesh Kaushik, a 30-year-old man from Goa, has become the world's first triple amputee to reach the Mount Everest Base Camp located 17,598 feet above sea level, a private disability rights body has claimed.

In an astounding and daring feat, 35-year-old Uday Kumar, who has 91 per cent physical disability above the knee, ascended Mount Rhenock in Sikkim.

She became septic and doctors had to put her in a medically-induced coma to administer vasopressor drugs in a bid to save her vital organs.

The 44-year-old mountaineer scripted a world record as he became the world's first double above-the-knee amputee to summit the 8,848.86-metre peak on May 20.

A double amputee ex-British Gurkha soldier has scaled Mt. Everest, scripting history by becoming the first in the category to scale the world's highest peak with artificial legs, an official said on Saturday.

After losing three limbs in an accident, Suraj Gaywal set out on a mission to prove that there are no limits to what people with disabilities can do.

In the video, several amputee men wearing crutches play the game with enthusiasm and don't let their disability hold them back.

In 2021, Mr Gretarsson got the worlds first double arm transplant and since then, he has made incredible progress in recovery. He is now able to drive, brush his teeth along with playing with his dog.

Omar Hegazy lost a leg in a road accident but that did not dampen his spirit. And he broke to Guinness records last week by swimming "largest distance underwater with one breath and for "longest distance swam underwater with one breath with fins".

The Polycentric Prosthetic Knee, Kadam, makes it possible for above-knee amputees to walk with a comfortable gait. It also seeks to improve the quality of life of users through increased community participation, access to education, livelihood opportunities and overall well-being.

True to his word, industrialist Anand Mahindra has employed a quadruple amputee from Delhi at a Mahindra electric vehicle charging station.

In the viral video, a quadruple amputee is seen driving a modified rickshaw in Delhi and explaining how he manages to drive it.

Industrialist Anand Mahindra was left awestruck by a Delhi man who did not let his "disability" become a drawback.
