About Us

 

Do you know if your next door neighbor is really human? Could they be bionic? Are they more robotic than human? Probably not but that kind of bond between man and machine isn't that far off. In the world of prosthetics there is plenty of room for changes and innovation. The leading scientists in the study of prosthesis have come all the way from the peg leg to the sophisticated state of the art mechanical, hydraulic, cellular, and rechargable battery powered limbs we have today. In the past all we have had were wooden legs, but now scientists have come up with some of the most brilliant ideas. The prosthetics have joints and are close to looking ALMOST natural. This site is intended to show you how far prosthesis has really come.
