A new surgical approach links muscles involved in flexing and turning the ankle to a bionic prosthetic.
A new paper shows success with seven patients with the AMI and bionic limbs.
The combination allows the seven to walk naturally, at a normal pace, even up stairs and on uneven surfaces.
"It did make me a little teary eyed," one patient says of leaving the bionic leg behind.
Amanda Pietrafitta was burned over a quarter of her body, including her torso and left leg.
She had skin grafts and surgeries to reconstruct her damaged leg but was left with pain syndrome.
Herr expects it will take about five years for the bionic limb to become commercially available.
"I feel like I still have my limb," she said.
