Amputee Funding

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has selected a Providence-based research consortium for a $7.2-million effort to create lifelike limbs for Iraq war amputees -- by melding live tissue with mechanical devices.
In addition to the $7.2 million, the VA has committed $6 million to build a rehabilitation research center at its Providence hospital, making Providence the 14th such center in the VA system.

Besides treadmills and stationary bikes, the $10 million Military Amputee Training Center will have weapons simulators, a climbing and rappelling wall and military vehicle simulators to help soldiers adapt their prosthetics to driving tanks and trucks. [source]
