Advances in prosthetics for amputees to offer more freedom

Advances in prosthetics for amputees to offer more freedom Strong but lightweight materials and advances in technology have a greater comfort and more features for amputees. In the past, artificial limbs were made of wood and existed without moving joints, so that the joint amputations in particular severely limited the mobility of people. In addition, the heavy wooden construction with the use of a prosthesis difficult and uncomfortable. Now, mode lightweight materials increase the comfort level of prosthetic use enormously, and the new technology allows much more freedom of movement, even on the joint amputations. Prostheses with movable arms and legs are a series of transformations. The development of a common mechanical robotic rather clumsy to those with capacity, the joints are to use the muscles of the affected part to be able to log directly into electrical impulses from the body of the amputee, or a computer within the same artificial limb . In addition, robotic devices with built-in computer technology more subtle movements of the body, the most natural ability. This new technology has become an enormous sense of freedom for the amputee. Mode man, the arts are running marathons, participating in competitive skiing downhill, and in all types of sports and recreational activities - activities that were barred to them in the past. Perhaps more importantly, they are easily able to work every day, meeting requirements, together with their non-disabled, and to keep up with family and friends in their spare time. An increase in self-esteem When a body is suddenly earlier in May with the amputation of one or more limbs, whether due to accidents, war injuries, complications of diabetes or cancer, the trauma of the situation is a blow to single core identity. An image of the body is destroyed, and a whole range of fears: fear of loss of mobility, always dependent on others for their basic assistance, with a lifetime of severely limited options. Equipped with a mode and functional artificial limbs, and then lea to use, but as a kind of miracle. As people are trained and the possibility of opening up to them, their self-esteem rises and moving forward to initiate a productive, happy and full of life option. The future of prosthetic technology continues to improve in this important field of medicine. Currently, academic researchers to develop a computerized robotic part, by neural impulses in the brain - in other words by a single thought. As the science progresses of prostheses, which promises to further improve the lives of those mutilated by the amputation.
