This research develops a robotic system capable of reproducing real-world knee motions and ACL injury mechanisms in human cadaver knees. The platform enables realistic testing of injury-prevention technologies, improves understanding of ACL rupture biomechanics, and may help reduce injury risk, particularly among women who experience higher ACL injury rates.

This research shows that children born without a hand can generate complex muscle signals by imagining movements, enabling control of advanced prosthetics. Their abilities develop similarly to typical motor patterns, challenging assumptions and expanding access to sophisticated prosthetic technology for paediatric patients.
