The Ohio Department of Development (ODD) recently announced that
it has recommended a $2.1 million prosthetics-development grant to
a team including Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute,
Cleveland State University, and Ohio Willow Wood, Mt. Sterling,
Ohio. According to ODD, the grant’s purpose is to develop a better
transfemoral prosthesis, one that would incorporate
electrorheological (ER) fluids and electronic controls.
