One in every 190 Americans currently lives with a missing limb – an unbelievable statistic. If you’re fortunate enough have all of your limbs, chances are you take them for granted.

At the same time, hands have the strength and durability to grip heavy objects. Legs are equally impressive, enabling a person to walk, run and play complex sports and so much more.
