  2. Robotic Prosthetics

  3. Prosthetics Herodotus replaced his prisoners leg with a wooden substitute. During Egyptian dynasty early 500 B.C.

  4. Dubois L. Parmelee • In 1863 Dubois L. Parmelee made improvements to the prosthetics where the body socket fastens to the limb.

  5. New and improved prosthetics • Medical and scientific field of research has moved forward to robotic prosthetics for better control and usage.

  6. Prosthetic Foot Material • Wood was the dominant material for a prosthetic. But over the last 20 years the material has emerged to give greater comfort and confidence for the amputee.

  7. Microprocessor Knees • These prosthetic have a onboard computer for people having above-knee amputation having greater control over walking, stopping and moving on incline.

  8. Myoelectric Technology • The Myoelectric Technology allows for greater control and precision in the five fully functional digits enabling you to perform everyday task such as picking up coins and opening tabbed aluminum cans.

  9. Targeted Muscle Riennervation • Amputees are in the infant stage of controlling prostheses directly with their mind. The nerves of the amputated limb are reenergized in a different part of the body for ex. The chest. When the amputee wants to use their arm they just think of the action promoting nerves in the chest to react.

  10. Who will this upcoming trend benefit? • Robotic prosthetics will benefit and improve the lives of war and accident victims along with those who suffer from some form of Staph infection.

  11. Disabled to able • We look at the people that have the inability of using a limb or lost it completely and say that they are disabled and can’t do much. The prosthetics will change that giving them the same moving ability as a person who have their limbs and able to move them.

  12. Robotic prosthetics is on the fast track to becoming the closest thing to bionic people. In the distant future the world will experience the area of science and medicine together helping through robotics. • Once they are available to the public, obtaining this medical breakthrough will be far more than nickels and dimes. It’s still being worked with and scientist are improving it.

  13. Conclusion • Robotic prosthetic involvement in themedical field will have a positive impact and is worth pursuing. We look at people with no arms, legs or other missing limbs and think about how difficult their life must be. Well once the improvement of the robotic prosthetics are complete the research will make the quality of life better which is the first step.
