Hugh Herr lost both his legs below the knee in a climbing accident on Mt. Washington at age 17. Initially devastated, he soon shifted his attention to becoming a scientist focused on inventing advanced prosthetics, and is now a world leader in the field, at MIT.

This film examines the potential impacts of Professor Herr’s research, with an emphasis on helping stroke and spinal cord injury victims, as well as amputees.
