Mobility redux: Post-World War II prosthetics and functional aids for veterans, 1945 to 2010

[...] this new awareness by Congress and American taxpayers of veterans' real and urgent problems after returning from battle positively influenced the passage of important legislation for post-WWII veterans. [...] the PSAS resulted in new research and a significantly improved system of transition of soldiers from Active Duty (with the loss-of-limb injury and initial treatment) to veteran status (with long-term rehabilitation, upgrade of prosthetic device, and specific advanced training for the amputee)-all to gain the most benefit and function from their body-prosthesis integration.
