A Swedish amputee who became the first person to ever receive a brain controlled prosthetic arm is able to manipulate and handle delicate objects with an unprecedented level of dexterity. The device is connected directly to his bone, nerves and muscles, giving him the ability to control it with his thoughts. Matthew Stock reports.
This 3D-printed bionic arm is the first of its kind developed in Russia and may be set to revolutionize the world of prosthetics. Engineer and amputee Maxim Lyashko lost his right arm in an accident in 2013. He then started to wonder how to create a high-tech bionic prosthesis that was both functional and affordable. This desire led him to create the MAXBIONIC, an Iron-Man style arm that allows users to move the fingers with their mind.

Pooh is now walking again thanks to a one-of-a-kind operation that saw him get fitted with some special prosthetic paws in Bulgaria's capital Sofia. The ten-month-old cat’s new legs, made of polymer and rubber, were produced and implanted in Bulgaria. Following the operation, Pooh regained all of his lost weight and is playing like old times. The operation cost around $1,600 and was paid for by donations given to the animal rescue organisation “Let's Adopt Bulgaria”.
