Technology has no limit; in fact it has made things possible beyond our imagination. Science’s ability has reached such a level in the field of disabled that it can not only get amputees out of wheelchairs but also give them mobility that lets them blend back in into ordinary life. Hydraulic C-LEG’s is an excellent example of latest technology. C-LEG’s CPU brain automatically adapts to changes of speed and direction, and can be pre-programmed into up to 10 switchable modes to enable natural driving, cycling and other programmable activities that require different leg actions to normal walking and stair climbing. The new system will have more sensors, a faster hard drive, more memory, and will offer smooth automatic transitions between common movements such as level-ground walking, climbing stairs and running.

This new microchip-controlled artificial knee joint that’s opening up an unprecedented level of freedom of movement for above-knee amputees and allowing amputee servicemen to remain active in their jobs if they so choose.
