- It is so exciting that technology has come so far where one (an amputee) can get some functionality back. At the same what you getting back is your independence. So, I hope that one day they will make a "hand" that actually will fit for a woman.

- It was great to see all this and Walter Reed very impressive. I can see this part of Research could use and account for an additional 2 or 3 Billion dollars.
For decades our government has done a very good job of saving taxpayers? money with inadequate Veterans Affairs funding.
President Obama recently made excellent leadership appointments to Veterans Affairs. Even with their proven leadership abilities, and impeccable credentials, both Secretary Eric Shinseki and Deputy Secretary W. Scott Gould are facing the cumulative inadequacies of decades past. The tiny fuse of overmedication that has kept this whole VA system operational for 30-some years now desperately needs to be replaced with major re-wiring.
This young generation of veterans should not have to experience the palliative treatment of health care most veterans using the VA have experienced for decades. It would be great to see the VA step into the 21st century as the leader in world-class health care.
But after decades of under-funding, this proposed new VA budget is not enough. For our new leadership to achieve its full potential along with world-class VA health care, a one-time, additional funding of $20 billion for a ?21st century investment in VA healthcare? is desperately needed.
The VA has many good doctors working there who will feel much relief to actually have the opportunity to treat their patients instead of just medicating their symptoms.

- I feel that the DECA Arm program should work and collaborate with the Jim Henson's people. they have been making robotic arms for a long time. they look better then the DECA ones look. no not the foam creations. don't let the ego get in the way of the engineers. get to thinking you guys. I feel many engineers don't think out side the box like they need to to solve heath problems. like they need to. they must get to know who they are working for.
they have a grate team for thinking out side the box. I have looked at a lot of Jim Henson's Creatures. they have put a lot of time in to what arms move like. all we need to do next is to fix it to work next with the body.
that foot thing to control the arm is not a grate way to run a arm. what if your trying to walk and move your arm at the same time. come on.
I have a son of special needs. He has scoliosis of the back. His legs do not move and his right arm is flacid, the left arm has limited range of motion. He eats by a "G" tube in his tummy and can't swallow. He has a tracheotomy in his neck to breath through SIMV, a ventilation device to assist with his breathing. He?s extremely nearsighted and what he truly sees we just don?t really know. Most would describe A.J as a quadriplegic. He cannot speak. AJ is a wonderful inspiration to my wife and family and we are very honored and thankful to be his parents. with all this I must think out side the box every day.
Im very disappointed also in our country. to only in vest 100 million in this. that is only like movie project any more. what a darn shame. with so many amputees from all the wars. they made a big sacrifice for this country. did they not! we owe them so very much. when we wast a trillion and a half dollars on banks. then they go have parties. drive nice cars. fly in jets. what a lot of crap. cant we put the real sacrificing people in front row. not bank milliners. the people that lost body parts gave their all to us to be safe. so we can have a nice life here in the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Reply to this comment
- what if someone has a real arm, but is unable to generate any motion in the arm? I suffered a Brachial plexus injury and lost control in my left arm. Can these small computers be used to bring back the motion in the arm?
God Bless those who are bring such innovations and making differences in people's lives. Thank you! - Reply to this comment
- I am very impressed by this advancement in prosthetics! It would be amazing to be able to pick up a grape or pick up a cup and drink. I was curious as to why they never mentioned the myo-electric prosthesis. They jumped from the hook to this as if there were never any other advancements. I was one of the first children to try the myo-electric arm in the late 70s and used my myo-electric arm until a few years ago when I had problems with my insurance company.
