    Prosthetics that try to look like real legs are so whack. Make a cool black one, so I can look like a cyborg, not a mannequin.

    It's great that robot looking prosthetics are becoming acceptable. Functionality is the most important factor. However, I do understand that sometimes you might not want the attention.

      If I ever get a prosthetic limb, i dont want it to look creepy and manequin-like, I would much rather have the full futuristic machine design. it is way cooler IMO

  • @geneve2008
    @geneve2008 4 года назад +3

    Sorry, but no "modern" posthesis is really fully reliable - and they are expensive. The best and most comfortable leg prosthesis is and will remain the good old peg leg, or the long "stubby" leg.

    Actually religion has helped advance science vastly in the early days of humanity because we were interested in how a supreme being made it all happen. Of course, it probably would have happened without religion anyway, but it's stupid to say religion held back science in any way shape or form.

    Sorry. Saya andi pariwijaya dari indonesia. Di indoneaia pemerintahannya tidak perduli dengan orang-orang cacat fisik. Entah dari kecelakaan kerja atau yang lain. Sangat tidak memperhatikan orang seperti itu. Jadi apa yg mereka lakukan orang yg di amputasi ya dirumah saja seperti saya. Tidak dapat kaki palsu secara gratis prostetic yg canggih harganya sangat mahal. Rp.300.000.000,- Rata-rata tergantung kebutuhan itu sangat mahal sekali. Tolong bantu kami di negara berkembang ini kami seharusnya mendapatkan jaminan dari pemerintah. Please please.

    Scanning the residual makes for exact modelling no pressure unlike plaster. I would be interested if reverse scanning can produce a more life like result, that's if you are not already doing that. I am a dental tech we use similar technology, thanks for posting this.
