First Bilateral Shoulder-Level Amputee to Wear & Control Modular Prosthetic
  Limbs 
From: Tech Briefs - 12/16/2014

A Colorado man has made history at the Johns Hopkins University Applied
Physics Laboratory (APL) this past summer when he became the first bilateral
shoulder-level amputee to wear and simultaneously control two of the
Laboratory’s Modular Prosthetic Limbs (MPLs). Most importantly, Les Baugh,
who lost both arms in an electrical accident 40 years ago, was able to
operate the system by simply thinking about moving his limbs, performing a
variety of tasks during a short training period. The MPLs are fully and
wirelessly integrated into his body.
