New advances are made every single day in the way people with disabilities can continue to live their lives and carry on as normally as possible. When so many of our veterans started returning from war missing a limb, or two, those who dedicate their lives to designing prostheses started getting creative with their craft. Today, an artificial limb doesn’t look like it did ten years ago, but it also doesn’t perform like one, either.
Artificial feet and legs are used every day by people who run marathons, and by those for whom just getting up is still a struggle. Artificial arms and hands can move just like the real ones. The advances made in this area in just the last few years is nothing short of amazing.
It is also just the tip of the iceberg, compared to what is yet to come. Every breakthrough leads to a new idea that, in turn, leads to another breakthrough. CRAPH.org is dedicated to bringing you the very latest news and information about these amazing advancements and how they impact your life and your ability to enjoy it.
