    I could be wrong, but the last time I saw a horse walking, they still step 'toe - heel' and this prop is still walking 'heel - toe' like humans.... anyone else notice this? And what was 'bionic' about it?

    This is a great idea, and it could help a lot of people. A lot of people who lose limbs in wars could definitely benefit. I just hope that it isn't too expensive. I live in Canada, where medicine is socialized, but in the US would you have to pay for this?

    I know I'm going on the second page of comments, meaning no one will ever read this, but that's okay. I just want to thank Mark for writing this article. It was a great way to start my day on a happy note. Things like this give me a sliver of hope that we might actually make it.

    AAwww. This is the kind use of technology that inspires young minds to go into science and has given this little girl a new life thanks to mobility. Since her mom cant say thank you to all you nerds who are making lives better through tech, I will. Thank you.

    @Vivara:


    Not the way these things work. They are sideways "u" shaped because they are flexible and the shape allows for compression and rebound, like a spring.
