The US government is buying a device to test prosthetic limbs

The US government awarded a contract for a "Prosthetic Device Emulator." This device helps test how well prosthetic limbs work by simulating different movements and forces.

This purchase means the government is investing in better ways to evaluate and develop prosthetic technology. It allows researchers and manufacturers to rigorously test new designs before they reach patients. This could lead to more effective and comfortable prosthetic limbs for users.
