Amazing article. It`s great to see how such advances in medical technology will work for individuals with missing legs, arms or other body parts. However, one also needs to consider the problems associated with the applications of prosthetics that include poor socket fitting and long lasting pain and discomfort. Researchers also need to address such issues and work to eradicate them.
