Wrap Your Head Around Kaylene Kau's Take On a Prosthetic Limb
It would be a godsend for her.
I wonder how extensive the process is to interface this unit with existing musculature and nerves. Does one just slip it on? Or is there a procedure?
this thing looks like that guys arm from that movie district 9
(due the complexity of functionality, CG was used in the final film)
Many a crew member has done this for Halloween using foam, cardboard spacers, cables and servos.
Great application, but I'd to see the reservoir and pump or motors required to fully realize the concept. Amputees require both dexterity to pick up a pencil(as awesomely noted above) AND the strength to grasp, say, a motorcycle handlebar (as my father-in-law does).
