A romantic husband who was born without a left hand has had his bionic limb customised - so he is always wearing his wedding ring. Luke Medland, 31, was fitted with a carbon fibre Terminator-style mechanical hand - which is controlled by two electrodes on either side of his stump - seven months ago. The new bebionic3 myoelectric (double corr) hand moves like a real human limb by responding muscle twitches in Luke's lower arm. Incredibly, the robotic arm is so sensitive it means that Luke can stand up on the tube - with the bionic hand gripping the bar and his other holding his bag - for the first time in his life.
