In most cases, artificial limbs are in a fixed position. That means 
the wearer´s movements aren´t natural and may even be uncomfortable. 
But now, scientists are testing brain-powered prosthetic ankles that 
may be game-changing for amputees.  

55-year-old Greg Phillips was on his way home on Labor Day 2013, when 
a car pulled out in front of his motorcycle.  

"It was called a compression fracture in which the foot was crushed

recalls.  

After two years of fighting infection and instability, Phillips and 
his doctors agreed to amputate.
