Robotic Prosthesis Video - Brigham and Women’s Hospital

Jim Ewing, 52, recently underwent a first of its kind experimental surgical procedure to amputate his lower left leg. If successful, the surgery will enable him to perform complex actions and feel sensation by allowing his brain to interact with a robotic prosthetic. Matthew J. Carty, MD, Director, Lower Extremity Transplant Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, is redefining the way an amputation is done through the creation of the nation’s first dynamic-model amputation, part of an experimental protocol to restore limb function. Carty’s groundbreaking work in dynamic amputation is a collaboration among plastic, orthopaedic and vascular surgeons from Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital, along with biomechatronics experts from the MIT Media Lab. In 2014, Carty was the winner of the inaugural Stepping Strong Innovator Awards established by The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation to support groundbreaking projects in innovative trauma treatment and recovery.
