What a great man and company. I hope to see all disabled people back on there feet and helping society with technology like this. This is a prime example of American know how. Just a amazing company and only the begining !
as it continues being developed those people will be able to afford it. Remember the Iphone was originally $500. Now people can get the Iphone for almost nothing, and as they keep evolving they retire the super old ones. Same with medical stuff. My boyfriend is deaf and needed hearing aids. As they've developed better hearing aids, he gets better ones (originally starting with a box that amplified and a microphone when he was little, now to what people think of when they think of hearing aids)
I have the biome ankle, but i also have the vacuum suction cup, you should get it as well, it works that much better, even takes some of the weight of the biome off. I dont know what i would do without it!! Inexpressibly Wonderful!
+michael moss True but life is not fair unfortunately, right now it has to be expensive becuase of the technology used, the amount they can physically manufacture a year, and the salaries for all the top engineers, scientists and programmers that contribute to the project as well as the rent for the place and the price for the machines used to manufacture and test those legs. Big cost=high prices, but dont worry as it gets bigger prices will go lower, and maybe one day a chinese company will make a copy for less :P
Life is not fair. Most people cannot afford a house and need one but end up renting. Many people also cannot afford food and die. That's a basic human need. There are worser conditions in life than not being able to walk. I'm not saying people shouldn't use bionics at all. I'm saying more complex needs shouldn't be given away for free.
You say that as if they're making it expensive to build on purpose. There is a huge amount of engineering and manufacturing effort going into making the BiOM less expensive to build and more robust, but it's challenging. The BiOM is a stepping stone (no pun intended) to more cost-efficient and better developed technology... you have to start somewhere. You have to walk before you run (okay, that one was intentional).
Below knee prostesis is relatively simple machine. What you are referring to is fullbody exoskeleton for paralyzed and obviously much more harder to control. These new bionics are really amazing. Soon disabled people will be more powerfull, than the rest of us! :-)
The key is the human knee......if you don't have the knee, you have lost your leg....if you have the knee but not the foot, you still have a leg....just missing the foot
I had the left below the knee amputation on Oct 1,2013 is there anyway you could help me get a leg to walk again please. I don't know who to turn to for this help. I am at home now moving around with crutches, not good with stairs. I live in Haverhill, mass
Everything with this BIOM leg seems fantastic but except the sound it constantly makes. If only it didn't make so much noise everytime you stepped, it would be perfect I think
Wow. Anyone else think that they should collaborate with that Icelandic company that produces Powerknees? I mean, wouldn't that basically create a somewhat functional everyday use leg?
nirbhay yadav hey there... Buddy you can surely purchase it as you're from India you just have to search a place and then you could do it... In the mean time all the best.. May God bless you
I'm sorry if you received my prior message. I regret to inform you that the recommended item has been immediately purchased. If i find another of relatively economical status i will be sure to provide an alert.
So if they want to make it possible for people to jump and slam a basketball, its possible right? I think that would be awesome, see a nice 5 on 5 basketball game with dunking by 10 folks who were once not able to walk at all. What a world. Genesis 11:6 "...Then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them."
While this technology is amazing, it doesn't allow you to be a very good thief. Just imagine the scenario: You're another teacher in the university and you hear someone stealing a notepad from your office supplies, and you hear the hydraulics in the dark. Simple process of elimination? I think so.

When I win lottery I get 2 of them for my husband . It’s amazing what humans can create !!! Work of art .
that’s really nice!!! oh my god your husband is lucky to have you as his wife
Only one thing to say: Cyborgs are already here...

It really is beautiful
hey think of it like this he can LITERALLY kick someones ass and not feel it :D

The Awesome Man too true! I hope the people with no foot can have the chance to walk again
That's what insurance is for moron
@@bob13513 You dense moron. Do you think insurance is capable of covering everything? You obviously do not pay for your own.

Thing is money. Without the money, you have nothing.

they have a bionic for the knee as well, one of my friends have one along with the ankle. I have the biome as well. AWESOMELY AMAZING!
Where did you bought it from?can you please let me also know...
is there camber control? also, are there a silent model? that sound it makes would drive me bonkers.
Did the issue of noise ever get sorted? I’d look at these if it wasn’t for the noise.
Lifetime of this leg?? When we have to replace this leg?? Or this is lifelong??
We can rebuild him with awesome technology. Cheers!

bionic commando
Can you imagine in the future when possibly mechanical legs will take the place if the biological legs or body parts? I could see that happening.
That would be so annoying, people switching them because they don't like there original.
came here bc i’m preparing if one day i’ll lose both of my legs
He walks very natural... hes not hobbling around using the power of his hip like other fake legs.
can you run with this? Is there a web page of this?
Awsome,
I lost recently my below knee leg in accident. Kindly help me to find out right bionic prostheses leg for me.

How can I purchase this for me.

How can I get it?
i am getting the same one next week.. so excited. (so broke)
what are thoseeee!
What about swimming? I just can't figure how that would work
r u working on upper knee disability?
How much indian rupees
So if they want to make it possible for people to jump and slam a basketball, its possible right? I think that would be awesome, see a nice 5 on 5 basketball game with dunking by 10 folks who were once not able to walk at all. What a world.

I wonder if it would help M.S.?
