Procedure to connect prosthetic arm and residual limb leads to greater motion and comfort for ampute
Quote:
An amputee has a greater range of motion and comfort following a surgical technique to attach a Modular Prosthetic Limb directly to his residual limb.
The MPL was developed by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and the procedure represents a first for the field of prosthetics.
“This accomplishment has eliminated one of the biggest gaps in prosthetic development: the socket,†said Michael McLoughlin, chief engineer in APL’s Research and Exploratory Development Department.
