Amputees soon can 'feel' objects with a Bionic Hand

Scientists from Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne and the BioRobotics Institute in Pisa, Italy led by Micera and Stanisa Raspopovic have developed a bionic hand which enables amputees to feel again.

By surgically implanting electrodes on the nerves of an amputee and connected to a bionic hand, the person can determine the texture and shape of objects.

Sørensen was the first amputee to test this bionic hand being disabled for 9 years when he lost his left hand on a fireworks explosion. "Suddenly you could see my left hand was talking to my brain again and it was magic," Sørensen told USA Today.

The bionic hand is still a prototype and so after the experiment, the bionic hand was detached from Sørensen for the device to be further improved.

The scientists eyes the potential that soon this device will be commercialized and it would be a leap of technological innovation for the amputees.
