How Great a Gift is a Wireless Prosthesis?

    Sept. 12, 2014
    From environmentally resilient microprocessor joints to direct nerve controlled robotic limbs, getting our wounded back into the action has never been more possible.

    In order to enable amputees to accomplish tasks that would otherwise be inaccessible to them, several organizations and companies are pouring in their efforts and investments in reinventing prosthesis. From environmentally resilient microprocessor joints to direct nerve controlled robotic limbs, getting our wounded back into the action has never been more possible.
