Quote:


	Blazing advancements, including lightweight composite materials, keener sensors and tiny programmable microprocessors are restoring remarkable degrees of mobility to amputees, said William Hanson, president of Liberating Technologies, a company in Holliston, Mass., that specializes in developing and distributing advanced (rather than the more conventional kind) prosthetic arms and hands.
