The Patent Office granted 133 patents for artificial limbs and other prosthetic devices between 1861 and 1873; at the same time, the federal government and many states also established programs that distributed
artificial arms and legs to veterans free of charge.
Now, researchers report that one day in the not too distant future,
those artificial arms and legs may have a sense of touch closely resembling the real thing.
