Limb
Prosthetics
Advanced bionic arms, hands, and legs that restore natural movement — from individual finger control to full-limb replacement — through precise electromechanical engineering and adaptive AI control.
Overview
Prosthetic limb technology has advanced dramatically in recent decades — but the gap between what's possible in a laboratory and what's available to a person who has lost a limb remains enormous. Bionic Foundation's prosthetics research program works to close that gap, across both upper and lower limb systems, by building devices that are mechanically precise, neurologically connected, and practically useful in everyday life.
Our approach centers on three principles: natural control (devices that respond to intent, not just surface signals), sensory feedback (devices that communicate back to the user), and durability (devices that survive real use over years, not just demonstration conditions).
Upper Limb Systems
BF-7 Bionic Arm
The BF-7 is a full-arm system providing 16-axis control from shoulder to fingertip, powered by a hybrid myoelectric/pattern-recognition control system. Phase II clinical trial — 94% task completion rate in activities of daily living.
Multi-Articulating Hand
Our multi-articulating hand prosthesis features individually actuated fingers with embedded grip-force sensors and vibrotactile feedback, giving users a sense of object firmness and texture through the device.
Partial Hand System
Modular partial-hand prosthetics designed for the full spectrum of partial hand loss — from single finger to transmetacarpal amputations — with direct socket fabrication support for clinical partners.
Targeted Muscle Reinnervation Interface
Research program developing TMR protocols that increase the number of usable myoelectric control sites, enabling more intuitive and simultaneous control of complex bionic arm movements.
Lower Limb Systems
Microprocessor Knee System
A next-generation microprocessor-controlled knee prosthesis with real-time gait-cycle sensing and adaptive hydraulic resistance — enabling safe walking on uneven terrain, inclines, and stairs.
Bionic Ankle-Foot System
A powered ankle-foot prosthesis with embedded motor-driven push-off that replicates the natural energy return of the biological ankle — reducing metabolic cost of walking for transtibial amputees by up to 30%.
Osseointegrated Mounting System
Research and clinical support program for osseointegrated (direct bone-anchored) prosthetic mounting systems, which eliminate socket discomfort and improve proprioceptive feedback for lower limb users.
Clinical Partnerships
We partner with prosthetic clinics, rehabilitation centers, and VA facilities to support device fitting, training, and long-term follow-up. Interested in partnering?
