The Power Knee

Caption

Retired Special Forces SGM Brad Halling leaps effortlessly now that he's on the POWER KNEE by Ossur, the first motor-powered and artificially intelligent prosthesis. Halling lost his leg in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993 when his Black Hawk helicopter was hit by a rocket propelled grenade.
