Top-of-the-line prosthetic devices have improved by leaps and bounds


Steve Murgatroyd can walk up stairs normally, run in the rain and, soon, he’ll be able to ride his motorbike again with his prosthetic leg. ( Richard Lautens/Toronto Star )Sjonnesen picks up a bebionic hand that looks like it could crush steel just by making a fist. Murgatroyd hopes to return to frontline service with his prosthetic leg — something that Mailloux has already done. In 2009 he returned there for another tour of duty, becoming the first Canadian soldier with a prosthetic leg to return to frontline service. Ask Mailloux what is the hardest thing he does with his prosthetic leg and the answer has nothing to do with sport.
