Climbing 103 Floors On a 'Bionic' Leg 117
An anonymous reader writes "4 years ago I read about experimental targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) surgery on Slashdot. 3 years ago I crashed my motorcycle and had my leg amputated — at which time I had TMR done. Today I climbed 103 floors of the Willis Tower in Chicago with a experimental prosthetic using TMR. Thanks, Slashdot."

Which of his legs was bionically enhanced, his left, right or third?
Also, FWIW, I have both my legs and wouldn't make it up those 103 stairs.

Kudos to you for all you have achieved but I gotta admit the news headline had me thinking you were on the outside of the building like a human fly......next challenge maybe?

I could walk up those stairs and with a bionic leg it would be even easier.
He never asked for this.

Fortunately for you, there is ongoing work underway on a prosthetic sense of humor.
