For reference, that is just under the population of Albuquerque, New Mexico, as of the 2010 census. By the year 2050, just over three decades from now, that number is predicted to double - over one million Americans will be suffering from some level of amputation to their upper limbs. In other words, that would be approximately the population of Dallas, Texas in 2010, all handicapped by the loss of some part of their arms 2 . In short, the use of prosthetics is hardly a new idea, familiar to almost anyone. However, current science strives to improve upon bionic technology (essen- tially roboticized prosthetics) in particular, advancing the systems made to control a bionic as well as the flexibility of the bionic itself in order to most accurately mimic the natural movement of a human lim...
