Whether it’s for a casual stroll or a super-fast sprint, the design of a prosthetic leg will need to match its function. Two prosthetic legs, the Genium Bionic Prosthetic System and the Running Blade, improve mobility for different uses and are both on show. They are made from carbon fibre that can withstand the pressure of everyday use and the intense demands of sport.
Part of the Summer of Sport at the Science Museum.
