bionic leg

Powered prosthetic extremity

A bionic leg is a prosthetic limb that uses electronic sensors and motors to replicate natural leg movement.

Unlike passive prosthetics, bionic legs detect the user's intended motion and respond dynamically—adjusting for stairs, slopes, or walking speed.

After the amputation, she was fitted with a bionic leg that let her run again.
