Myoelectric means that it uses muscle and nerve ending to control how the arm moves. Another controller of the arm is sensors in the shoes which have already gotten companies thinking about things that they can do to capitalize on that idea. Other prosthetic companies have begun to use technology like this because it is right on the cutting edge of the

I remember it all so clearly‚ like a brand etched into the folds of my brain.

Medical robotics has started to get more and more incorporated within the realm of helping patients as well. Whether it is helping with heart surgery‚ using electrical stimulations from the brain to control a prosthetic or even complete mind controlled robots that can help a patient complete daily task. Who knows maybe in the future we will see nano bots that fight alongside our immune system to combat diseases. Either way robotics in the medical field is progressing

Haemoglobin’s quaternary structure is four polypeptide subunits (2 alpha and 2 beta chains) whereas Collagen’s structure is 3 polypeptide chains wound around each other like rope. Haemoglobin has a prosthetic group – each chain contains a haem group (Fe2+) but collagen has no prosthetic group. Haemoglobin is made of a wide range of amino acid constituents in its primary structure whereas approx 35% of collagen’s primary structure is just one type of amino acid – glycine. Much of a Haemoglobin

to assign different values to what is considered disabled and what a prosthetic should be able to do and what it should look like.
