A vision for a go-go-gadget hand
Almost immediately after Jordan was born, Randy and I started talking about the ultimate prosthetic hand. Randy had a vision of a hand that included a phone, weapons and tools that would help her through any and every situation. If you're my age, you probably remember the cartoon version of Inspector Gadget. I want my kid to have a Go-Go-Gadget arm just like him! Fast forward to today and it seems much more possible.I've written about the e-NABLE group and how volunteers are building prosthetics for children and adults around the world. It's pretty remarkable. And then, someone comes up with a SUPER FUN helper arm that makes me so happy. Have you seen the Iron Man hand? It's amazing.
The designer, Pat Starace, created a heck of a buzz with this hand. It's cool, it is fun and if you have a limb difference, you should get to have fun stuff other kids can't use. Check out the video that explains how this hand works.
