Abstract
The common use of bionics within society is often considered to be a dream for many, until recent years. Professor Laurent Frossard discusses the emergence of new adapted sports such as the Cybathlon that could better the lives of many individuals suffering from limb absence. He presents how these new adapted sports contribute to improve function and mobility, thereby, the quality of life of prosthetic users while potentially reducing health care expenses associated with limb loss.
