We’ve posted an even share on bionic limbs and their advancements through the years, but rarely have we had the opportunity to peer a video of 1 in real world use, on an actual person. The BBC has shared a video of a guy named Patrick using his bionic arm, which — long story short — was partially the results of being electrocuted at work. That’s his second one to this point and specifically, it is a prototype Otto Bock mind-controlled prosthetic arm equipped with six nerve sensors that permit him use the hand as though it were his own– it supports pinching and gripping with the fingers in addition to lateral and circular movement of the wrist. Although the footage is a secular roll of assorted everyday tasks — gripping a bottle to pour a pitcher of water to illustrate — it’s quite amazing to achieve technology helps him do things he’d rather be deprived of. We’d suggest checking it out on the BBC by clicking the source link below.
