Open-Source Leg

An end-to-end open-source platform that makes prosthetics research more accessible, collaborative, and reproducible.

We want to give people access to the tools needed to overcome the barriers preventing these technologies from impacting the lives of people with disabilities.

— Prof. Elliott Rouse, University of Michigan

Trusted by 25+ research institutions worldwide
