Bionic hand gives hope for disabled children to perform normal tasks
A new electronically powered artificial hand for disabled children has been unveiled in England. The thumb and forefinger open and close when pressure is applied to an electrode attached to tiny motors and gearboxes inside the hand. Children can slip their arm into the bionic hand, which is encased in a silicon glove. The bionic hand is designed for children who have a congenital abnormality or a partial hand amputation at or below the wrist.
