Should Prosthetic Limbs be More Advanced by Now?

This article was posted March 2014. According to the CEO of Alfred Mann foundations, David Hankin, the key to succeeding in prosthetics is enabling the amputees to perform everyday activities with natural ease. A major problem today is the rejection of prosthetic limbs usually because they feel uncomfortable wearing them or the limbs are not able to perform daily activities effectively. In order for a prosthetic limb to function as a normal arm, it is essential for the hand to be able to send sensory information back to the brain. This will help reach the ultimate goal of allowing amputees to be able to carry out daily functions naturally and effectively.
