App revolution transforms amputee’s life

Double-amputee Jason Koger used to fly hundreds of kilometres to visit a clinician when he wanted to adjust the grips on his bionic hands.

Now, he’s got an app. Koger came to Philadelphia this week to demonstrate the i-limb ultra revolution, a prosthetic developed by British firm Touch Bionics. Using a stylus and an iPhone, Koger can choose any of 24 grip patterns that best suit his needs.
