New Prosthetic Devices Allow Patients to Feel Again

March 3, 2014 | By Natalie | Disability Attorneys, Social Security Disability

A new generation of prosthetic devices is helping disabled patients who have lost a limb touch and feel again. Recent research conducted in Denmark successfully tested a prosthetic device that actually allows a person to touch and “feel” an object.

The device is based on sensors, the transmission of signals between the sensors, and a computerized system that allows the person’s brain to actually sense objects. This new innovation, like so many others in the area of prosthetic devices, is breaking new ground in this field, and promises to help persons who have lost a limb due to an amputation injury live more productive lives.

Amputation injuries can be eligible for Social Security disability claims. Broadly, if your amputation involves both hands, one leg or both legs, or one hand and one leg, or one leg up to the hip, you could be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. The nature of the injury, however, is not the key factor in processing your claim. The Social Security Administration specifically looks at whether your amputation injury prevents you from working and earning a living.

You do not have to have serious amputation injuries that involve hands and legs for you to be disabled enough to work. There are other types of amputation injuries that could impact your ability to work and could, therefore, result in an approved claim. So your injuries could still make you eligible for Social Security disability benefits as long as your injury prevents you from working–not just in your earlier job–but in any other type of work.

M. Stanley Whitehead is a Social Security disability benefits attorney in Houston, Texas, committed to representing persons who have had their disability claims rejected, and helping them recover the benefits that are rightfully theirs.

Attorney M. Stanley Whitehead - 5 out of 5 based on 36 user reviews.  
"I would highly recommend this firm to everyone, Wonderful firm, they took my case , when I was told by a few firms in Ohio that I did not have a case, Marc Whitehead and Associates settled the case in a timely fashion"  Delecia via
"I want to thank the office of Marc Whitehead and especially Jaime Almaguer who was my caseworker. I had begun the disability process myself until I heard about this lawyers' office in Texas. Seemed strange working with folks across the country that I would never meet. Nevertheless, they were able to get my disability first time around. I felt comfortable discussing my issues privately with them and being able to let Jaime do the work. He was responsive, caring and very professional. Thank you all so much, this has changed my life."  Lynne via
