Hello collegians
Today we’ll talk about the advancement of prosthetic limbs which surprisingly is a huge. It’s actually interesting to see the old version we are using back then and now. To the ones the scientists are inventing right now.This advancements will make a lot of people happy and make them feel whole.Which is a good thing the world of science is doing.
Prosthetic limbs have change over the centuries since it was invention. The first one was made in 300 BC and was made of iron and wood.It wasn’t until 1997 when prosthetics were improved that they can customized settings for them.And now they could just more than walking and grabbing. People can now do stuff they want to do like for example people in the paralympics and what the scientist doing now it can do much better.
As for the the future they are working on a exoskeleton that you could control with your mind. It involves a whole lot of words so I’m just going to shorten it for you.So they have to implant electrodes in the brain and increase the neurons. In which another implant well detect them in the cortex.This all will be connected to a neurochip near the skull along with the electrodes so they could get the raw motor commands to control the exoskeleton.And if they could do it for four limbs they could certainly do the same thing for prosthetic limbs all they have to do is connect the neurochip to the prosthetic limb.
People with limbs either losing it or not being born with one sometimes feel like well not whole.And it usually takes some time to get rid of that feeling I should know one of my relatives doesn’t have a arm.But with this they can feel whole sooner because they can control their limb.Which could make people feel great especially for military people who lost one in battle.
So there you have it prosthetic limbs and there advancements over the centuries and the future.Like I said science is doing a good thing for the world.And the advancement of prosthetic limbs this is one of the reasons why.It can a lot of people in the military and people born without one as well as the one in accidents.
Sincerely,
Charlie
