Just watch the video (highlights, full show in 2 parts) and be amazed of these new inventions! If you’re interessted in details you can read the patent full text.
Thanks to God that I don’t need such prosthesis, but I hope that some day in the future similar facilities will be available and affordable to all handicapped people.
