"What the 20th Century Did For Us" is a 6 part BBC History series looking at the technological innovations and inventions of the last 100 years and the ways in which they have changed our world. The series is hosted by James May, a well known TV personality in England who may be familiar to US viewers who have seen the BBC show 'Top Gear'. 

One episode in this series "Body Fantastic" looks at the human body and the way developments in the 20th Century have allowed us to push our bodies further than ever before; how we can live longer, we can survive in extreme climates and we can overcome incredible obstacles, pushing our bodies to new limits and new achievements.

Through interviews and demonstrations with patients, athletes and the clinical staff of A Step Ahead, the film crew received a detailed education on the amazing advances and changes in prosthetic technology. The crew collected hours of film documenting from the early twentieth century of wooden prosthetics to today's world of carbon graphite prosthetics for runners and micro-processor prosthetic knees and ankles for everyday use.

A Step Ahead staff and patients are proud to have been chosen by the BBC to provide the latest information on advances in prosthetics to the world and to demonstrate that people with limb loss can live their life without limitations.
