95% Made of Russian Components: Roscosmos Presents Bionic Prosthesis "Aktiv-2"

Roscosmos' "Aktiv-2" Development Helps People Walk Again

Roscosmos supports enterprises that create important civilian products. This includes the "System of Precision Instrument Engineering" lower limb prosthesis - "Aktiv-2".

The press service of the state corporation published a picture of the product presented at the "Army-2023" exhibition. The high-tech bionic prosthesis reproduces the functions of the lost lower limb, allowing a person to lead an active lifestyle. The prosthesis, which is 95% composed of Russian components, is produced by a branch of the "System of Precision Instrument Engineering".

The bionic prosthesis works by reading the electrical signal from the muscles of the limb with myo-sensors. The electrodes transmit this signal to a microprocessor, which activates the prosthesis.
