Prosthetic Paradigms: What drives the design of a limb? | Kevin Connolly | TEDxHelena

What is involved in developing prosthetics? What can make them useful? What can make them inhibitive? This talk details the intricacies of prosthetic design.

Kevin Connolly is an American photographer who was born without legs. He has made a collection of photographs of people's reactions to him as he traveled the world, and published it on the Internet. In February 2013, the Travel Channel network premiered a new reality series starring Connolly entitled Armed & Ready. The show features Connolly travelling around the U.S. and the world engaging in local events and physical challenges.
