i-limb ultra Bionic Hand Moves Like Human Hand, Helps Arm Amputees Regain Dexterity

The i-limb ultra bionic hand made by Touch Bionics has revolutionized life for many arm amputees. Everyday tasks like getting dressed, brushing your teeth, tying shoe laces and driving a car are all made much easier with this durable prosthesis that features five individually articulating digits. Most myoelectric hands have a stationary thumb but with the i-limb ultra, people can use their other hand to manually rotate the electric thumb into a different position.

Bionic Legs, Eyes, Arms and Other Super Human Prostheses

As tech advancements in prosthetics come along, amputees can exploit those improvements. They can get upgrades. A person with a natural body can't." Herr lost both his legs below the knee in a Mount Washington climbing accident when he was 17, but says that shouldn't inspire pity. Instead, by donning whirring, whispering, shiny supermachines -- the robotic ankles that can propel him across the room in 400-watt bursts -- Herr has been given: Power.
