Nombre d’Amputés
• As of July 2009, 1,112 American soldiers
sustained an amputation in the Iraq war; 112
in the Afghanistan conflict, according to the
DOD's most recent count

L'industrie prothétique américaine
• A travers cet exemple, l’analyse porte sur les
amputés de la guerre en Irak s'élevant à environ
600 sur une population totale de 1,9 million
d'Américains ayant perdu un membre, l'industrie
prothétique américaine estime que les
investissements du gouvernement se verront
moins dans leurs résultats financiers que dans les
progrès techniques réalisés.
Avec la guerre
en Irak la recherche sur de nouvelles prothèses
aux Etats-Unis a été mise en œuvre.

DARPA/ HANGER
• L'armée et le département des Affaires des anciens combattants
(VA) financent de plus en plus de prothèses et de prestations liées.
Le VA, qui offre une prise en charge tout au long de la vie pour les
vétérans, a dépensé 1,1 million de dollars (800.000 euros) l'an
dernier dans ce domaine contre 529.000 dollars en 2000.
• Par le passé, les guerres ont conduit à des avancées en matière de
prothèses. La société Hanger a d'ailleurs été fondée en 1861 par un
amputé de la guerre civile américaine, James Hanger, qui a fabriqué
une jambe artificielle améliorée en bois, caoutchouc et métal. Le
fondateur de la société allemande Otto Bock Healthcare, premier
fabricant mondial de prothèses, "était un peu considéré comme le
Henry Ford de l'industrie prothétique" pour avoir produit à grande
échelle des appareils pour les anciens combattants de la Première
Guerre mondiale, souligne Brad Ruhl, au siège nord-américain de
l'entreprise à Minneapolis.
Développement
de meilleures prothèses.
• Le Pentagone a ainsi chargé un groupe de scientifiques
et des fabricants de mettre au point un bras artificiel
contrôlable par la pensée, un projet de 30 millions de
dollars (22 millions d'euros).
• Au total, les départements américains de la Défense et
des Anciens Combattants ont débloqué au moins 70
millions de dollars (51 millions d'euros) depuis 2001
pour le développement de meilleures prothèses. Des
dizaines d'entreprises, américaines ou étrangères, ont
reçu des fonds pour inventer ou perfectionner des
prothèses qui serviront d'abord aux soldats blessés
avant d'être utilisées par les civils amputés.

Agentivité corporelle
• Dans le droit fil des travaux sur l’hybridation
technologique dans le handisport et dans
l’émergence de l’agentivité corporelle des
acteurs de guerre, nous étudions ici comment
politique, communication de guerre,
technologie définisse une restauration
idéologique par le sport.
Une médiatisation politique
• La restauration idéologique des amputés par
des prothèses, depuis les premières prothèses
d’Ambroise Paré, s’inscrit désormais dans le
handisport à travers une médiatisation
politique et des associations handisports des
amputés de guerres animées par les vétérans
eux-mêmes : operationamped et ampsurf.

L’intégration des hybrides dans la société par la médecine réparatrice fera
disparaître le handicap dès lors que la norme du corps naturel ne servira
plus de paradigme à la surnaturation de la performance et de l’action.
La stigmatisation des handicapés cache la réalité de l’hybridation actuelle
des greffés, implantés, bioniques, ipodés, prothésées…
Cette hypocrisie sociale révèle la difficulté d’adhérer à la nouvelle

à changer le regard des gens sur « la

handicap est la deuxième cause de
discrimination. « Il faut que l’on voit que je
suis avant tout une femme qui peut aussi
être belle et sexy, et que le handicap est
secondaire. Je voulais confronter les gens à

"différents comme tout le monde" (different like everybody), and it targets both the
general public as fellow handicapped "who often don't accept their own body".

La nudité sur un calendrier… le stratagème a fait ses preuves pour attirer le regard de
l'autre. Pourtant cette fois-ci pas de « Dieux du stade » ou des belles de Pirelli sur
papier glacé. Le corps est ici exhibé d'une autre manière. Surtout pour une autre
cause. À Puteaux dans les Hauts de Seine, douze handicapés ont posé nus pour un
calendrier 2011 publié par l'Association des paralysés de France (APF) afin de «
changer le regard des gens sur le handicap ».
Les motivations des huit modèles se rejoignent. Celle d'Arno est de « montrer le corps
handicapé de façon brute, sans se soucier des canons de la beauté académique,
chimérique, qui parcourt et cristallise une image falsifiée d'un corps standard ». Assis
nu dans un fauteuil roulant, Florian Kermezian, 21 ans, dit espérer que « désormais les
valides vont pouvoir nous regarder d'un œil différent ».
Priscille Vincens, 36 ans, amputée d'un bras et des deux jambes à la suite d'un
accident de train en 2006 a accepté de poser « pour accepter son nouveau corps ».
Quant à Cécile Arfi, la jeune photographe qui les a mitraillés tout le mois d'octobre
dernier, elle résume d'une phrase la démarche en estimant « que l'on peut être beau
et digne en étant différents des autres ». Un premier tirage de mille calendriers «
Différents comme tout le monde » est en vente sur le site de l'APF.

propose un calendrier dans lequel les
personnes handicapées posent nues.
Selon Cyrille Bertin, président de la délégation
des Hauts-de-Seine, « le corps est trop souvent
un élément de rejet ou de jugement si nous ne
rentrons « pas dans les normes de beautés
actuelles. Nous avons voulu faire prendre
conscience à tous, que le corps doit être un
vecteur d’épanouissement ou d’intégration et
non une cause de mal être et d’exclusion
d’une personne ».

femmes, ont posés nus pour ce projet, seuls ou en
couple, afin de montrer qu’un corps différent et
hors-normes peut être beau et pourquoi pas
désirable, même et peut être encore plus en
s’offrant dans sa nudité....
Encouragé par un très bel accueil de la part du
public et des médias de notre travail, nous avons
décidé de nous lancer dans de nouveaux projets
pour les mois à venir, et de prolonger ainsi notre
message en faveur de la différence. Ainsi, nous
préparons actuellement un livre de témoignages

sexualité. D’autres projets sont également
envisagés pour le futur.

• in Marie Claire UK. The premise of the show seems cruel and
unusual to the core—to boost the acceptance of disabled women in
an industry that is based solely on physical perfection. Can you say
“pleading for rejection and humiliation”? This merciless irony plays
out in the show over and over again. A photographer says of
contestant Rebecca, a 27-year-old with a prosthetic leg, “Rebecca’s
disability didn’t cause me any problems. It was just the fact she’s
not really in shape.” So, aside from learning to model with a
prosthetic leg, Rebecca must also be crazy thin? And it gets worse.
In a scene where a contestant with a stump models lacy lingerie in a
store window, a young man comments, “She’s beautiful, so she’s
got nothing to hide.” But a middle-aged woman adds, “But if it’s to
sell something like lingerie I think people are going to be troubled.”

• Wounded Warrior Integration
DS USA Executive Director Kirk Bauer estimates 1,000
wounded warriors and 600 family members have been
helped through the project since it started in the fall of
2003. Bauer states that the focus of the WWDSP has
become integration.
• “Some programs have been specifically designed for
the veterans, but we have found the disabled veterans
have enjoyed it more when they are integrated into our
regular programs,” he says. He also emphasizes that
the project’s integration expands to the
servicemembers’ families and the public spaces where
most of the programs take place.

• The “Wounded Warriors” and their family members
are provided these opportunities free of charge,
including transportation, lodging, adaptive equipment
and individualized instruction in over a dozen different
winter and summer sports.
A New Attitude Toward Veterans
• A New Attitude Toward Veterans
Bauer sees a huge change in attitude since he returned
from Vietnam in 1969 as a single leg amputee.
• “The programs, opportunities, and choices are much
more diverse now. DS USA currently has 92 chapters in
37 states. Each chapter sets its own agenda and
activities. These may include one or more of the
following: snow sports (snow skiing, snowboarding,
and Nordic skiing); water sports (water skiing, sailing,
kayaking, scuba, outrigger canoeing and rafting);
cycling; climbing; horseback riding; golf; shooting;
athletics; tennis; other sports; and social activities.”

facilities to run the program. He said when all
three are in place you have the ability to
achieve integration physically, socially, and
with the community. Unless a program is
integrated at these levels, he sees it as falling
short of its mission and having less of an

These cyclists want to give back. The Soldier Ride helps to raise
awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project. Even though the
soldiers have already given so much, they want to confer a positive
message to the public and encourage the next group of wounded
soldiers.
• In 2004, the first year of the ride, $1 million was raised. Last year,
the ride raised $12 million. The funds help the Wounded Warrior
Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting the new
generation of severely injured servicemen and women.
• Many of these men and women have been physically active
throughout their lives and are not going to lose that. They are going
to get on the bike and prove to themselves, “I can still do this.''

WARRIOR CHAMPIONS tells the inspiring story of a group of American soldiers
who lost limbs or suffered paralysis during their tours in Iraq. Rather than giving
in to depression, they’re actively combating a new enemy: their own bodies.
The film follows veterans Kortney Clemons, Scott Winkler, Melissa Stockwell,
and Carlos Leon as they fight to get in shape for the 2008 Paralympic Games in
Beijing. Kortney is a sprinter and long-distance jumper with one leg who has
written a book about his life at war and in sports. Scott is a paralyzed discus
thrower who travels around motivating other disabled veterans and kids.
Melissa completed the New York City Marathon less than a year after losing her
leg. Before deciding to train as a swimmer for the Paralympics, she had never
swum competitively. Carlos survived a year in Iraq as a Marine, only to break his
neck in a diving accident when he got home. He’s now a passionate discus and
shot put thrower. WARRIOR CHAMPIONS is an uplifting testament to the
strength of both body and spirit.

One night while watching the evening news, a group of veterans and brothers
were moved by the difficult stories of the first wounded service members
returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. They realized then and there that
something needed to be done for these brave individuals beyond the brass bands
and ticker tape parades.
The resulting objective was to provide tangible support for the severely wounded
and help them on the road to healing, both physically and mentally. What had
been initially viewed as a small contribution (compared with what the warriors had
sacrificed while serving our country) has become WWP's signature program:"WWP
backpacks delivered bedside to wounded warriors."

Bone Joint Surg. 52:687-700.
At the beginning of the second winter, December
1968, however, one combined above-knee and
below-knee amputee was so insistent that the
possibilities of skiing were explored for him.
Lucks, the instructor, fitted with bilateral double
upright braces with locked knees and ankles, was
able to demonstrate that controlled skiing was
possible using only hip and trunk control. The
amputee was then fitted with a type of stubby
prosthesis for each lower extremity, and in these
he learned to ski (Brown 1970). Enthusiastic
about his skiing, in his first season he learned to
ski on expert trails and even participated in
slalom and downhill races. Mounting and
dismounting the chair lift with rigid knees and
ankles required courage and agility, but he
managed and soon was able to accomplish this
without interruption of the lift operation. Several
other bilateral amputees, all above-knee
amputees, learned to ski in the same fashion,
and most did better on skis than they did with
ambulation in their “normal” above-knee
prostheses (fig.55).

Les amputés présidentiels

First ‘Bionic Soldier’
• September 03, 2003 - WASHINGTON,
September 3, 2003 -- Changes in body armor
have reduced the number of American service
members dying on the battlefield for about a
decade — although it still happens, a majority
of combat wounds military doctors treat
involve the extremities.
33
24/07/2014
Emerging prosthetic technologies
• Emerging prosthetic technologies promise not only greater power
and flexibility but also pressure-sensitive artificial skin, and even
limbs that are bonded to the body and controlled by the mind - and
much of this within five years. Rebuilding amputees to be faster and
stronger than before is rapidly becoming a realistic possibility. With
experimental prosthetics increasingly able to integrate with flesh,
bone and the nervous system, the very idea of "losing a limb" may
one day become obsolete.
"This is perhaps the most exciting time ever to be involved in
advanced prosthetics," says John Bigelow of the applied physics
laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, who
works on brain-controlled robotic arms.
34
24/07/2014
The $43,000 bionic leg,
complete with microprocessor
knee and force-sensing pylon -metal support rod between the
knee and the prosthetic foot -reads feedback data 50 times
per second and evaluates it to
determine the appropriate
movement for the computer
aided leg.
The C-Leg takes much less energy when McNaughton
walks.
“Sometimes it’s hard to explain, because you have to
be an amputee to know the difference. But [the C-Leg]
is so much smoother. It tries to imitate exactly what
the left leg is doing,” McNaughton said. “I can take
more natural steps. With this one you can go down
ramps a lot easier. With the [conventional prosthetic]
you have to go down sideways.”
•
Upper-limb prosthetics, however, have lagged behind. This is in part because arm and
hand amputations are less common than those of lower limbs, and also because arms
are smaller and have a greater range of movement than legs, making it more difficult to
pack in the hardware needed to mimic a real arm. This too is changing, as ever smaller
components become available.
Perhaps the smallest and most powerful yet is the i-Limb from British company Touch
Bionics in Livingston, West Lothian. It's a lightweight plastic hand in which each digit
contains its own motor and can move independently in response to signals from two
sensors attached to skin elsewhere on the user's body. These sensors pick up
"myoelectric" signals - the electrical impulses that cause muscles to contract. Users
move the hand by tensing certain muscles in a particular way to initiate preprogrammed grip patterns. For example, one pattern lets users hold a key between the
thumb and the index finger, and another makes the hand point with the index finger.
The hand also boasts a "stall detector" system that stops the hand contracting further
once it has sufficient grip on an object.
35
24/07/2014
DARPA has pledged almost $50 million
•
According to user John German, who lost his left hand to a congenital
nerve condition, people frequently mistake his i-Limb, covered with a
realistic silicon "skin", for a real hand. Even so, some users - particularly in
the military - prefer the "Terminator look" of the naked device, so the
company now also offers clear coverings.
Entire bionic arms are also in development. The Luke Arm has been
developed by the creator of the Segway transporter, Dean Kamen, at the
medical technology company Deka based in Manchester, New Hampshire.
It was financed by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA): troubled by the growing ranks of war veterans returning from
Iraq and Afghanistan having lost limbs to bombs, DARPA has pledged
almost $50 million in research funds towards the creation of a realistic,
thought-controlled bionic arm.

President Bush jogging on the South Lawn of the White House on
Wednesday with amputee soldiers is supposed to be inspiring…instead, we
find it kind of tasteless of Dubya to capitalize on the soldiers’ injuries for a
“photo op.” Sgt. Neil Duncan lost both of his legs in Afghanistan in 2005,
while Spc. Max Ramsey lost his left leg in Iraq last year.

leg and part of his right foot in a bomb
blast in Iraq in 2008. The Pentagon says 41
American amputee veterans are now in
sept 2010 serving in combat zones
worldwide.
Able to do intensive sports
• “Luckett’s remarkable recovery can be attributed
in part to dogged self-determination. But
technological advances have been crucial:
Artificial limbs today are so effective, some warwounded like Luckett are not only able to do
intensive sports like snow skiing, they can return
to active duty as fully operational soldiers. The
Pentagon says 41 American amputee veterans are
now serving in combat zones worldwide”.

Let us rededicate ourselves to keep a sacred trust with all who have worn
the uniform of the United States of America: that America will serve you
as well as you have served your country,' Mr Obama said in a statement.
'As your next commander-in-chief, I promise to work every single day to
keep that sacred trust with all who have served.'
The president-elect, who will inherit wars in Iraq and Afghanistan from Mr
Bush, was accompanied by Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran who
lost her legs in combat.
'Since 9/11, a new generation of American heroes has borne a heavy load
in facing down the threats of the 21st century, and their families have
been asked to bear the painful absence of a loved one,' he said.

But Lt. Col.
Gadson is not

“As an alumni of AW2’s support, I
know first-hand the value that the
Army Wounded Warrior Program
brings to the long term success of
wounded soldiers. This is the
perfect place for me to serve, and I
am honored to have this mission,”
said AW2 Director Lt. Col.
Gadson. “For our severely wounded,
ill and injured soldiers and veterans,
AW2 provides an umbrella of
expertise that helps foster
the independence that leads to longterm success. For me,
AW2’s personalized support led to
my continued service in the Army.”

The new outpatient center.
•
•
•
•
Walter Reed Army Medical Center has pulled a fast one.
In just under a year, the new Military Advanced Training Center for Soldier
Amputees rose from the ground of a campus slated to be moved to
Bethesda, Md., because the Army Medical Command deemed the need to
be immediate.
Before, soldiers practiced walking on their new prosthetic limbs in
hallways and on stairways because the old prosthetic lab wasn’t big
enough to accommodate them and the technicians, let alone the new
devices. And there was no place for family members.
The technology is amazing at the new outpatient center. There’s a climbing
wall that rotates to create new challenges, a firearms simulator with
mechanical hands to properly grip the trigger, a ground simulator that
moves as a service member “walks” through a 3-D forest and a gait lab
that lets scientists gather images from 23 cameras to determine which
movement or device works best for each patient.

Three Veteran Amputees Climb Mt.
Kilimanjaro
The hikers were Kirk Bauer, 62, who
lost a leg in Vietnam in 1969; Dan
Nevins, 37, who lost his legs in Iraq;
and Neil Duncan, 26, who lost both
legs in a roadside bomb attack in
Afghanistan in 2005,
Nevertheless, the huge achievement
will no doubt inspire others with
similar disabilities. Mr. Bauer,
executive director of Disabled Sports
USA, said:
“If three amputees from three
different wars and two different
generations with literally one good
leg can climb Kilimanjaro, our other
disabled friends can get out and go
hiking or go biking or swim a mile,
can get out and lead a healthy life,”

2006, Operation Amped
• Founded by a group of surfers in 2006, Operation Amped is about
giving back to those who've been wounded in service of our
country.
As surfers, we can't think of any greater expression of what they
fought for than the freedom of surfing itself. As thanks, we share
our love of the ocean with disabled vets.
Throughout the year, Operation Amped puts on surf events that
range in duration from one day to a week. At these events, vets
who've been wounded have the chance to get free of the
constraints that illness or injury has imposed on them.
Many have never set foot on a surfboard. Many have never set foot
in the ocean. Some can't even swim. But with the support of this
grassroots effort, everyone has fun.

• Whether they are an amputee, blind, suffer from
PTSD, or have quadriplegia. Whether they served
in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf war, Iraq or
Afghanistan. Whether they are a child of Autism,
or a young woman who has lost a limb to Cancer,
AmpSurf offers a unique program to bring the
healing power of the ocean and adaptive surfing
together for an experience that is both mentally
and physically one of the best forms of
rehabilitation on the planet.
L’hôpital militaire de San Diego
• Au département des prothèses de l’hôpital militaire de San
Diego, cette problématique technique reste un souci, car
les jambes artificielles adaptées aux sports de glisse n’en
sont qu’à leurs balbutiements. Celles pour le ski ou le
snowboard, à suspension à ressorts, sont plus au point. «A
force d’essais, nous nous sommes aperçus qu’elles
doivent être plus courtes de 5 à 7 cm que la jambe
valide,note Dave Donaldson. Cela oblige à se mettre sur les
bons appuis pour surfer. Mais chaque cas est un nouveau
challenge. Wally, par exemple, a été amputé de sa jambe
avant [en position de surf, ndlr], alors que pour les autres,
c’était la jambe arrière. Il faudra trouver un moyen pour
qu’il puisse la faire passer sous lui afin de se lever
normalement sur sa planche.»

• Pour le moment, Wally se fait ajuster cette prothèse au
millimètre par son ami Nathaniel Leoncio. Lui-même
amputé en 2005 en Irak, ce médaillé de la Bronze Star fait
bénéficier le département orthopédique de ses
suggestions. Nathaniel, 26 ans, tatouages d’étoiles rouges
et chapeau de paille, «c’était à la fois le mec le plus dur et
le plus rigolo de la classe», résume son ami d’enfance
Shawn. Le genre de personnage qui aide, l’air de rien, des
jeunes comme Wally à remonter la pente. A la différence
du Hawaïen, son amputation a eu lieu il y a suffisamment
longtemps pour qu’il en rigole. «Regarde, ils m’ont donné
un pied blanc», plaisante le jeune homme d’origine
asiatique. «Moi aussi, j’espère qu’il va bronzer», hasarde
un Wally mi-figue mi-raisin.
