‘Bionic woman’ is first to have robotic limb merged with bone
A woman has become the first human to receive a robotic limb fused with both her nervous and skeletal systems — and she’s being dubbed the “real bionic woman.”
When attached to the metal implant, her new prosthetic arm — called the Mia Hand and developed by the Italian company Prensilia — translates the movements of the bone and nervous system into the device, which can be taken off if Karin chooses. Anna-Lena Lundqvist / Ortiz-Cata SWNSKarin says her bionic arm has been “life-changing,” reducing her phantom pain and allowing her to regain independence and participate in everyday life. “The fact that she has been able to use her prosthesis comfortably and effectively in daily activities for years is a promising testament to the potential life-changing capabilities of this novel technology for individuals facing limb loss,” Ortiz Catalan said.
