Humans can now move robotic limbs using only their thoughts and, in some cases, even get sensory feedback from their robotic hands. Scott Pelley reports.

Me too, Christopher, (tears). Thank You for posting.
BTW, I believe all things are possible for our type of injuries in the future. Some of the next generation has some great minds and determination, I believe.

Amputate arm or to sling?? :roll:
I am very glad that I robot arm are here :roll: It will help with amputations issues,
It is a very hard question.
I hate the pain in the shoulder area being jerk down and a swing arm of birth erbs and a torn deltoid in my once good arm driving a semi after 25 years.
Does a robot arm weigh alot :shock: :roll: Very many of us have intense pain in the shoulder a lot here use the sling to lesson the pulling in the shoulder in sports and activity, There are many post showing doing things with a sling ;)
Pain is a life long issue to all here to try a new pain treatment overtime.
If pain is the issue to have your arm taken off, Ask a doctor to deaden the nerves that hurt the most and can be repair latter, :roll: just thinking?? :shock: :roll:
I robot in a arm is out there to.
Very hard question,

Tom
