TED/Krista Donaldson: The $80 prosthetic knee that's changing lives

FAKE KNEES used to be extremely expensive. Not to mention the real ones. So what comes to when you don't have a knee? It could have been amputated due to diseases, accidents or wars. No one favors the choice of sitting in a wheelchair through the rest of the life, and since the human beings are not capable of growing a new one like the gecko, those patients with physical impairment might as well wait for the inventions of the scientists. And their day has come!

Some of the medical facilities are bringing out the latest, top notch, and cheapest fake knees ever in medical history. It's still a big price comparing to other pills and treatments for coughs and fever, however, the price has come to a historically low. Dreaming of standing to one's feet again without the help of cane, and moving around freely instead of cuddling inside the robotic arms of wheelchair? 

Fake knees are going to make your day. And these latest equipment had also passed the exams and tests to prove themselves worthy, so it's a government guaranteed and recommended piece for all users in need. However, it's still going around in America, and will be taking a while to go into trend in other countries. I believe that this piece of lecture and exciting news has lit up the hope of many people throughout the world.
