Fixing Damaged Knees
Biomedical engineers
developed a robotic arm to
very precisely resurface the
knee before replacing it.
In order to do this, a 3-D
image of the knee is
generated, providing a
live-action view of the knee

Alternative To Open Heart Surgery
Interventional cardiologists
created an alternative to
open heart surgery by
developing a mitral valve
clip. To alleviate mitral
valve regurgitation--a
condition where the heart's

Baby Treadmill
Kinesiologsts developed a
tiny treadmill to help
infants with Down Syndrome
learn to balance themselves
earlier. Typically, these
children learn how to walk
at 24 to 28 months, later
than the 12 months for those
