‘I control robot limb by my thoughts’

A WOMAN whose left arm was torn off at the shoulder has been fitted with a revolutionary robot limb controlled by her own nerves.

The arm has changed the life of the 24-year-old motorcycle accident victim, allowing her to cook, put on make up, clean the house and carry shopping bags with relative ease.

She found a previous prosthetic limb that relied on conventional technology virtually useless and ended up wearing it chiefly for cosmetic reasons.
