Hi,
My name is Sananda and I am a sophomore enrolled in the Gifted & Talented
Program” at my high school. In this class, our current assignment is
conducting research on futures. The topic I have chosen is Future of
Prosthetic Devices.
I was wondering if you would like to take some time to answer a few of my
questions pertaining this topic.
I would really appreciate your input!
My questions are as follows...
1. I have found a lot of sources, proposing the idea of brain-controlled
prosthetic limbs that will allow the user to even feel with his/her device!
How will this work and/or what are some other advances prosthetists are
working at to better prosthetics?
2. I am having a difficult time understanding how the current prosthetics
work today. How does a user control his/her artificial limb? Is it not
brain-controlled already?
3. Besides using carbon-fiber material, Is there any push to use a
different type of material in the future to benefit amputees?
4. How will the use of wireless technology be incorporated into prosthetic
limbs in the near future?
Thank you!
Sananda
