For people with disabilities, the new artificial prosthesis in the US really changes lives. With sensors and a transmission device placed in the computerized system, those who lose their legs can walk with a more natural look, even climbing the airplane.

Sensors mounted on the prosthesis will receive signals from the computer to determine how fast the user will move and how long the footsteps will take.

Bill Dunham, a disabled person, said that this was the best prosthesis he had ever used. "I've been using this prosthesis since January," he said, "and I found it very handy, and for the first time in 16 years, I had climbed the stairs. so many, so much".

The new prosthesis is just one inconvenience, it is not suitable for all people with disabilities. For those who want to use it must have a height of at least 1 m63 and weight from 61 to 90 kg.
