In the news today there was a report of scientists finding a way for those that have lost the use of their limbs to be able to control articficial robotic limbs throught their thoughts (Sky News). How amazing!

They went on to say that this can even be used to assist in restoring the use of limbs that are paralysed.

 

This is all possible through the use of a tiny microchip in the part of the brain that controls movement.

 

This has endless possibilities and those of you who are engaged in training injured or disabled clients may find they can specialise in this field once the technology becomes available mainstream. Another example of how personal training can evolve into specialist areas.
