Dr. Todd Kuiken grew up tinkering with things. Unable to decide whether to be a doctor or an engineer, he pursued both careers. Now he puts his dual education to ideal use as director of the Center for Bionic Medicine at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Along with a team of surgeons, engineers, and neuroscientists, Kuiken has pioneered a high-tech prosthetic arm wired to receive neural signals generated from the brain that direct more specific and refined movement in the elbow, wrist, and hand than ever thought possible. Kuiken discusses his research and its applications for amputees and looks ahead to his next big challenge: the leg.
