Prosthetic Limbs: Moving & Feeling Like Real - NOVA TV

[dlgoff]

TL;DR

PBS television program

The NOVA TV program description was: A new amputation technique allows prosthetic limbs to move and feel like the real thing. What amazed me was the electronics that interfaced with the nerves.

Rather interesting documentary. About 1.4 hours long.

The first 30 minutes or so are leading up to the event that triggered the research; it tends to play on the emotions rather heavily though.

The technical aspects start around the 40 minute mark. As a technologist, I would have appreciated a bit more detail.

Overall, quite a technological accomplishment... and the field is just getting started.

Thanks @dlgoff !

Cheers,
Tom
