A Veteran’s Quest to Harness the Power of Prosthetics
A Veteran’s Quest to Harness the Power of Prosthetics
Vietnam Vet, Cesar Jiminez, collaborates with the VISN2 BRAVO Lab to help select the best
prosthesis to maintain his healthy and active lifestyle. It's all about the power of return, akin to a car engine.
Dr. Maikos and his gait and motion analysis team utilize the same technology used in movies and video games to explore the mechanics of human motion, specifically Veterans living with limb loss, to understand how the biomechanics of this disability affects mobility, pain, and quality of life. Also, a research lab and their work in kinematics and kinetics will impact the future of prosthetics now and for years to come.
