Prosthetic legs play a pivotal role in clinical rehabilitation, allowing individuals with lower-limb amputations the ability to regain mobility and improve their quality of life. Gait analysis is fundamental for optimizing prosthesis design and alignment, directly impacting the mobility and life quality of individuals with lower-limb amputations. Vision-based machine learning (ML) methods offer a scalable and non-invasive solution to gait analysis, but face challenges in correctly detecting and analyzing prosthesis, due to their unique appearances and new movement patterns. In this paper, we aim to bridge this gap by introducing a multi-purpose dataset, namely ProGait, to support multiple vision tasks including Video Object Segmentation, 2D Human Pose Estimation, and Gait Analysis (GA). ProGait provides 412 video clips from four above-knee amputees when testing multiple newly-fitted prosthetic legs through walking trials, and depicts the presence, contours, poses, and gait patterns of human subjects with transfemoral prosthetic legs. Alongside the dataset itself, we also present benchmark tasks and fine-tuned baseline models to illustrate the practical application and performance of the ProGait dataset. W e compared our baseline models against pre-trained vision models, demonstrating improved generalizability when applying the ProGait dataset for prosthesis-specific tasks.

High school junior Sarah Barros and Amy Beth Stern of New York's Southampton Animal Shelter join'Fox & Friends First' to share the heartwarming story of a special needs shelter dog who received Barros' creation of a 3D printed prosthetic leg. A three-legged shelter dog is getting a new lease on life thanks to a high school robotics whiz and the 3D printed prosthetic leg she dreamed up to help the pooch get adopted more easily. The heartwarming story started when a school counselor approached 16-year-old Southampton High School Robotics team leader Sarah Barros with an extraordinary opportunity to put her skills to the test. "[The counselor said] 'I know you're very interested in design engineering. I heard about this great opportunity from a friend that there's a dog at the shelter who might need a leg, and this is a cool project you could take on,'" Barros said in a "Fox & Friends First" interview on Tuesday.

The Grammy award-winning star discusses what he thinks about when he is picking which songs to record. Keith Urban has had his fair share of strange interactions with fans. When asked about his wildest moment with a fan during his recent appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," the 57-year-old country singer recalled the time a fan threw an unexpected item on stage for him to sign. "I was playing a show, and this girl yells out from the audience, 'will you sign my leg?'" Urban explained. "And I went, 'of course' what a great moment. This was years, a long, long time ago. She's out there, I say yep come on up! Then she disappears, I couldn't see her. Then she pops up out of the same spot and throws this prosthetic leg up on stage!"

Getting the neural interface hooked up to a prosthetic takes two steps. First is surgery involving the portions of muscle that remain after a lower-leg amputation. The operation reconnects shin muscle, which contracts to make the ankle flex upward, to calf muscle, which counteracts this movement. The prosthetic can also be fitted at this point. In addition to enabling the prosthetic to move more dynamically, the procedure can reduce phantom-limb pain, and patients are less likely to trip and fall.

The East Carolina University infielder and pitcher entered the game as a pinch-hitter. Byrd received a standing ovation from the crowd inside the stadium, who wanted to recognize him for becoming the first NCAA Division I baseball player to compete in a game with a prosthetic leg.

When a devastating earthquake struck Turkey in the early hours of February 6, 2023, the five-storey building in Hatay where 13-year-old Mehmet Koc lived, collapsed, burying him in rubble and killing his older brother Emre, 14, and his mother Didem. But it took 76 hours before rescuers could pull him from the mound of concrete and twisted metal that remained of his home. Later in hospital, doctors determined that his legs were so badly crushed and injured, that both needed to be amputated just below the hip. Hearing of the earthquake in London where he lived and worked, Mehmet's father, Hasan, caught the next available flight to Turkey and travelled to Hatay, in the southeast, desperate for news of his family. The 58-year-old encountered a scene of utter destruction.

Mark Ormrod said the legs were taken from his car overnight while it was outside a Premier Inn.

Albert Lin might hunt for lost cities, and occasionally wear a wide-brimmed hat, but he and Indiana Jones couldn't be more different in their methods. While Indy had to make do with nothing more high-tech than his whip, this real-life explorer is bringing the best tech out there. Using cutting-edge tools, Albert has uncovered hidden cities of the past everywhere from Scotland to Sudan. Speaking to MailOnline, Albert revealed how he was inches away from being crushed by a boulder while searching for a mysterious civilization in Israel - surviving only thanks to his prosthetic leg. Albert and Indiana Jones might share a taste in hats and adventure but their techniques couldn't be more different Albert Lin is a National Geographic Explorer who uses technology to rediscover lost cities.

A robotic leg with motors that work like bike gears could let a wearer walk up stairs – which many people find impossible with unpowered prostheses. Most prostheses have no motors to actively assist walking, but instead are either passive or help only by altering the resistance of a joint's swing, controlled by a low-power microchip. The few actively powered prostheses on the market are relatively heavy and bulky, with short battery lives, and have achieved limited success.
