Prosthetic Research: Stanford Biomechatronics and Suralis System!

Writer's picture: Susan Stenman, CPSusan Stenman, CP

Our involvement in prosthetic clinical studies is driven by a commitment to improving functional outcomes. We collaborate with institutions like San Jose State, Santa Clara University, and Stanford's Biomechatronics Laboratory to advance prosthetic design through rigorous research.

The Stanford Biomechatronics Laboratory, 

Led by Professor Steve Collins, focuses on:

  1. Developing wearable robotic devices for improved walking efficiency

  2. Using versatile emulator systems for rapid design testing

  3. Employing human-in-the-loop optimization for personalized devices

  4. Creating adaptive prosthetics that respond to user movement


Recently, the lab has made significant breakthroughs:

  • A boot-like exoskeleton that increases walking speed and reduces effort outside the lab.

  • Personalized assistance that adapts as people walk through real-world environments.

  • Exceptional improvements in walking speed and energy economy.


The Suralis System

Developed by Saphenus Medical Technology GmbH represents another advancement in prosthetic technology, offering sensory feedback and potential pain reduction for amputees. Their goals are to:

  • Advance pain management: By studying the Suralis system, researchers can better understand how sensory feedback reduces phantom pain, potentially leading to improved pain management strategies for amputees.

  • Enhance prosthetic design: Research into the Suralis system can inform the development of more advanced and intuitive prosthetic limbs.


By connecting patients to this prosthetic research and collaborating with the Suralis System and the Stanford Biomechatronics Lab, we contribute to the advancement of prosthetic technology and stay at the forefront of innovations. This engagement allows us to offer our patients the most advanced solutions.
