Bionic hand solves user's pains in more than one way

It might sound scary, but it has given the first recipient a new lease on life, with more independence and lesser dependence on pain medication.

In a farming accident twenty years ago in Sweden, Karin lost her right arm. She was given a conventional prosthesis that she found not only uncomfortable but also unreliable. Karin did not find the prosthesis was helping her carry on with her routine life in a meaningful way. Additionally, to achieve more accurate attachment, the team turned to osseointegration, a process where the titanium of the prosthesis fuses into the bone tissue to create a mechanical connection, which conventional prostheses lack., for which surgery was performed in Sweden to rearrange the nerves and muscles in her hand to provide more motor control information to the prosthesis.In Karin's case, the challenge was the site of amputation below her elbow.
