What's available nowProsthetic arms that use shoulder movements to

know when to grasp.

Prosthetic arms with many ranges of motions controlled by underfoot remote

Prosthetic legs that have accelerometers and other sensors that control the knee ankle and foot of the prosthetic depending on how it is being motioned.

ProblemsMany prosthetic legs forces users to hike their

hip strangely.

Arms lock when walking creating uneven swing.

Motions like this means “Roughly 70 percent of amputees develop back and joint problems.”

A leg you can feelDime sized balloon fitted around the thigh.

Fill as pressure is exerted in certain areas.

People can sense how there prosthetic foot has been set down.

This allows for better balancing and over time the ability to improve ones stride.

Sensory substitution

What's to come

Legs with better algorithms to make it easy and more natural to walk on.

Mind controlled prosthetic arms are right now being researched at Johns Hopkins University under a grant from the US defense department for 100M.

The “University of Pittsburgh Medical Center implanted two microelectrodes into the woman’s left motor cortex”

Others have already been able to type or wright freehand through thought.
