Prosthetics
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.”
Brain Computer Interface(BCI) 125 milsec 40 for foot
Invasive brain surgery
Gait funny movements
caused by the prosthetics
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.
When light hits the chip with 1500 pixels on it electrical impulses are sent to the brain.
