This is Nigel Ackland who is using bebionic. Nigel was caught up in the factory machine and lost his right arm while at work. Although I tried to put a prosthetic hand several times, because I could not find a satisfactory thing just because it did not work properly or apparently knocked down, I challenged "bebionic v2". It is a mechanic prosthesis made of carbon fiber and moves in response to Nigel's muscles.


Currently using "bebionic 3" which further evolved v2. A sensor is attached to the outside of the arm.


When pushing the sensor, the palm of the hand opened slowly with mechanical sound.


On the contrary, pressing the sensor inside the arm slowly holds the fist.


Normally it responds to the muscles of the base of the prosthetic hand so that the arm, palm and fingers will move.

You can also grab things.


Although I changed the prosthesis many times, the current prosthesis is functional and the appearance is not too realistic, Nigel seems to like it very much.


Looking from the side it looks like this.


Round the fingers.


It is also possible to stand only the index finger.


If you turn your hands, you can even type.

While watching television, it is possible to spend a relaxing time on beer.


Other than that, shopping and driving of cars can be done without any problems, Nigel says, "I feel like I could return to humans once more thanks to this artificial prosthesis.I have not spared the phone for the last 5 years, I could not hold someone's hand or wash my left hand, but now it is possible! Of course it's not really functional, but psychological pleasure is immeasurable. " It is.
