Vawter, a 31-year-old software engineer from Seattle, Wash., pauses
after climbing the stairs to the top of the 103-story Willis Tower using
the world's first neural-controlled bionic leg in Chicago, Ill., Nov.
4. According to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, their Center
for Bionic Medicine has worked to develop technology that allows
amputees like Vawter to better control prosthetics with their own
thoughts. Vawter made the climb during the RIC SkyRise Chicago event, a
fundraiser for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
