Hotspot information in the field of prosthetics has long been known

2025Year12The hot spots in the field of prosthetics cover not only breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies, but also technological public welfare projects to assist the disabled in many places. The following is a detailed summary:

1.Developed by the University of UtahAIAssisted bionic hand to reduce the cognitive load of the user:In December, the research results of the Neurorobotics Laboratory of the University of Utah were published in "Nature Communications". The team installed customized micro-sensors on commercial bionic hands and combined them with artificial intelligence to create a human-machine shared control architecture. As long as the user has the idea of ​​grabbing, the bionic hand can independently plan the path, adjust the grip strength, and easily complete fine movements such as catching cotton balls and holding eggs, which not only improves the accuracy of the operation, but also reduces the user's psychological burden. In addition, the team also plans to integrate implantable neural interface technology in the future to control prostheses with thoughts and restore tactile perception.

2.Zhejiang Jiande’s free adaptive intelligent bionic prostheses benefit the disabled: 2025year12 It was reported on 18 that the technology-based public welfare project launched by Zhejiang Province has provided 17 physically disabled people in Jiande City with free intelligent bionic prostheses from Qiannao Technology. The prosthetic limb uses sensors to collect motion data, and the algorithm processes and controls the hydraulic system to adapt to different motion states. The user can flexibly complete turns, go up and down slopes, etc., and can also check the prosthetic limb's power, number of steps and other data through the mobile phone APP. Adapters have reported that the new prosthetic limbs solve the problems of traditional prostheses, such as being bulky, stiff and easy to wear on the skin, and can even be used in daily scenarios such as cycling and commuting.

3.Yunnan launches smart prosthetic disability assistance project to benefit 2,000 people with disabilities: 12month3, the Yunnan Charity Federation and relevant enterprises launched the "Watch Project·Intelligent Prosthetics Assistance Project for the Disabled" and launched the pilot. The project plans to provide smart prostheses to 2,000 people with physical disabilities in the province. The first batch will select about 100 people in four places including Kunming and Qujing to carry out adaptation pilots, and will be gradually promoted in the future. These smart prosthetics will help people with disabilities improve their quality of life and enhance their employability.

4.Bionically expanded metamaterials improve the comfort and durability of tibial prostheses: 12months< /span>Relevant research on August 8 showed that a scientific research team used crab limbs as prototypes to develop bionicAuxetic materials for the pads and bases of tibial prostheses. The material adopts a negative Poisson's ratio geometric structure, combined with TPU and PA12 materials, and is 3D printed. It is manufactured with advanced technology and can significantly reduce the stress peak in the bony protrusion area of the residual limb. The stress reduction in the tibial crest area reaches 91%, and the energy absorption rate is increased by 2000% compared with traditional silicone materials. At the same time, the material can also reduce the risk of skin damage, and the pad replacement cycle has been extended from 3 months to 18 months, significantly optimizing the practicality and economy of the prosthesis.

5.A variety of smart prosthetics unveiled2025China International Welfare Expo:M3 intelligent bionic leg developed by Qiannao Technology can dynamically adapt to the movement needs of patients with lower limb amputation, and the ultimate static load exceeds 530kg; the " mechatronic prosthesis developed by Southeast University Limb Hand ", relying on key technologies such as force tactile sensing, helped Suzhou player Xu Min win the " Upper Limb Prosthetics " championship at the 3rd Global Assistive Technology Olympics, demonstrating the technical strength of domestic intelligent prostheses.
