In a small clinical trial involving 14 people with lower-leg amputations, participants who had surgery to create a neuronal interface were able to walk faster than those with prosthetics controlled by standard robotic algorithms. “Even though the limb is made of titanium and silicone and all these various electromechanical components, the limb feels natural, and it moves naturally without even conscious thought,” said biophysicist and study co-author Hugh Herr.

This will be a great improvement for all our Brothers and Sisters as well as any others in this situation, amazing what is available now compared to just a few years ago.

And These Technical Improvements Just Keep On Getting Better AND Faster Too,
As A Kid I Recall Those Dental Drills ~ Dry, Slow & Painful. The Dentist Would Pause, When He Saw Smoke Coming From The Tooth ~ Stop For A Moment, Spray It With Water ~ And Repeat. ~~~ NOW They Have High Speed Drills With A Constant Flow Of Water & It's Totally PAINLESS. ~ Believe This As You Will ~~ I've Fallen Asleep While The Dentist Was Drilling, And Had To Be Awaken So I Would Keep My Mouth Open And He Could Continue With The Procedures ~ ~BUT I No Longer HAVE Teeth In My Mouth ~ Wanna Play"Guess What"?
Thank You VA ~~ That Was A Benefit?... "HERE Have An Apple.. Ya ****s."
