Woman Operates Prosthetic Arm for First Time

  • 2 days ago
This woman, born without a lower left arm, has overcome challenges all her life. Despite her disability, she has found innovative ways to navigate daily activities such as cooking, driving, and managing her diabetes with her right hand. However, the onset of arthritis severely affected her hand's mobility, making essential tasks like injecting insulin difficult. She was then introduced to a medical device company specializing in advanced prosthetic limbs. They introduced a prosthetic arm to her. Even before the arm was attached, she successfully manipulated its fingers using sensors. This made her emotional and was moved to tears by the experience. However, she is now £20,000 for the prosthetic arm, which is crucial for enhancing her ability to perform daily tasks.
