Bionic Arm



After severely damaging one of his hands in an electric accident, 24 year old Patrick of Austria decided to get his disabled arm removed and replaced with a prototype bionic arm. The arm simulates basic feeling, pressure and a wide range of motion. Sometimes I forget how long we've come..This is pretty inspiring stuff, especially for amputees who will no longer have to give up doing every day tasks, like opening a bottle or tying shoelaces.
