◆ Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) investing $71.2 millioninto Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 (RP2009) Pgm

◆ Objective: Let amputees do what most people take for granted:- make gestures, test the water in a teacup,- turn a key, even peel the shell off an egg.

◆ As a result of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan,# amputees = 1214 on Aug. 1, 2008, compared with 4809 deaths and 33,116 injuries

◆ Ratio of amputations to deaths roughly twice as highas in any previous war.
