How did space exploration contribute to the development of artificial limbs and devices?

i really have NO idea... i am doing a project on it and NEED INFO NOW so i should be the one asking

Hi!

Sorry about that person's fake answer there. I pulled this off of Wikipedia - !:

Advancements such as Environmental Robots Inc.'s development of artificial muscle systems[6] for use in NASA space robotic and extravehicular activities have been adapted to create more functionally dynamic artificial limbs. Other commercial uses of NASA's temper foam include moldable materials offering the natural look and feel of flesh, as well as preventing friction between the skin and the prosthesis, and heat/moisture buildup.
