The Prosthetic Of The Future

BOSTON - NOVEMBER 21: Jim Ewing with the robotic prosthetic at Brigham and Womens Faulkner Hospital in Boston on Nov. 20, 2016. After a fall while rock climbing, Ewing suffered traumatic injuries to much of his body, especially his left ankle. A special amputation surgery, the first of its kind, allowed his nerves to interface with a robotic prosthetic foot. He and his doctors are confident that he will be able to "feel" the actions of the motorized limb, giving him far greater capabilities than he would have with standard prosthetics.
