Summary
"Out on a Limb takes us on a trip through an intriguing science that is changing what it means to lose a limb. From Walter Reed Army Medical Center to university labs across the county, what was once futuristic is occurring now as developments in robotics and neuroscience create a new kind of prosthetics. A science story and a human story, this documentary shows the impact this transformative science can have, as revolutionary prosthetics move from the lab to the bodies of amputees, and particularly to children with limb loss, who stand to benefit the most." --Container box.
