She had a little sensor at the end of her prosthesis that then she rubbed over different surfaces, and she could feel different textures of sandpaper, different grits, ribbon cable, as it pushed on her reinnervated hand skin.

Because the first generation is exoskeletal, it's wrapped around the leg, around the affected limb.

There are two general types.

Dean Kamen previews a new prosthetic arm

Todd Kuiken A prosthetic arm that feels

... above the limb, yes, it would be difficult ...

Then we fit her with a prosthesis.

Or we can create very specific prosthetics for that individual.

This is a really basic, basic prosthetic limb under here.

Unfortunately, we don't do great with upper limb prosthetics.

The state of the art is what we call myoelectric prostheses.

What is its price? 20,000 dollars.

It had a revolutionary prosthetic fitment and delivery system, a quick molding and modular components, enabling custom made, on the spot limb fitments.

You have to design an artificial foot for such conditions.

A new prosthetic workshop is being opened in Dohuk governorate.

Imagine if instead of facing that, they could actually face the regeneration of that limb.

If you haven't lost a limb you've had a stroke, for example you can wear these augmented limbs.

So I didn't have to do any of the cocontracting and all that.

And that's where our goal is to have something clinically pragmatic to wear.

SS You know, show us more than one set of legs.

And patients with end stage Parkinson s disease can be treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Current experiments on neural prosthetics point to the enormous future potential of similar interventions, whether retinal or brain stem implants for the blind or brain recording devices for controlling prostheses.

Here's Amanda using an arm made by DEKA Research Corporation.

(Text ... any person with a below the knee limb could do this.

Saudi Arabia states that the diseases were caused by the contamination of grass, weeds and water in the grazing area as a result of the deposition of lead and sulphur from the Kuwait oil well fires.

So we can run this through to something like prosthetics, which is highly specialized to an individual's handicap.

So, for prosthesis applications it's probably not too practical, because it's not affordable.

As regards the provision of prosthetic and similar appliances, 1,858 prosthetic appliances have been provided.

Hearing aids and prosthetic devices were provided to 46 persons with disabilities.

So Amanda, you can see, has really good control.

So Amanda came jet lagged, she's using the arm, and everything goes wrong.

So Amanda, when you first started using this arm, how long did it take to use it?

We've talked about mobility and the rest of it, let's talk about health.

Two volunteers for the prosthetics unit were trained in Jordan for six months.

TK That's Claudia, and that was the first time she got to feel sensation through her prosthetic.

The monkey recognized that whatever she did with her arm, this prosthetic arm would do.

I rode with my brother in the sidecar and my left leg was gone with a false leg there instead.

Here is an American citizen and his son having an artificial foot.

And I like to show how it looks and how it works.

I was hopping along to fetch that false leg, but when I was picking it up, even the stouter woman fainted.

Our functional testing, those little tests, all show that they're a lot quicker and a lot easier.

Beyene Belissa, a disabled man, reportedly had his artificial limb smashed by the police during his arrest and was refused the use of his walking stick in prison.
