Abstract
The paper reviews incidence and demography of severe sensorimotor disablement in the U.S.A. It then discusses the status of current technology in control of arm prostheses and orthoses and also that of lower limbs. Finally it sets forth criteria of success for the design of such systems and tradeoffs which the system designer must make in the process of design.Keywords
