a remarkable breakthrough in low cost prosthetic technology

LIMBS new Executive Director and PhD. candidate, Lucas Galey, has published a paper in the peer-reviewed journal, Prosthesis, which describes his low-cost smart-knee, dubbed the "E-Knee." Galey offers proof of concept that "a prototype microprocessor knee can be manufactured for less than $1,000 with comparable stability and user experience to a standard high end device."  Galey has been working on the experimental leg system since his undergraduate days. The project is an outgrowth of Galey’s long-term involvement with LIMBS.
