The Regenstein Foundation Center for Bionic Medicine (CBM) has been developing coordinating bionic legs for people with dual above-knee amputations for more than a decade. This pair of bionic legs uses electromyography (EMG) ¡ª a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles ¡ª to enable the legs to ¡°talk to each other,¡± thereby coordinate walking and other movement. Currently, these legs are only available in the research sector but we are hopeful that they will be commercially available in years to come.
